They'll Settle at 30

The union has countered Bud Selig's proposal for a 50 day first offense suspension with an offer of 20 days. Upcoming Congressional hearings probably moved the player's union along.

I actually like Tom Glavine's idea. Ten days for a first suspension so that if there's a mistake you don't ruin a player's career, but 100 days for the 2nd and then banishment for the third.

Glavine's proposal sounds very reasonable to me too.

sounds reasonable to me, too. also there has to be something else in there about not being punished twice for the same thing like morse was

Glavine's got a pretty good idea there. I'd go for it. Although, I'd like to see a slight alteration to it -

1. 10 days...
2. A full season...
3. Banishment.

three strikes, you're out!

Strike 2=full season sounds like a good idea, also means that there wouldn't be any issues wrt playoff eligibility. i.e. if a player is caught a 2nd time, he misses the current-year playoffs and the next 162 regular season games. Anyone got Selig's # handy? :-P

David, this seems like a complete 180, you were saying they should be allowed a few months ago.

You're coming around to Bud's ideas yet.:)
