Speedy Suspension

Neifi Perez won't be playing the next twenty five games for the Tigers or anyone:

Detroit Tigers shortshop Neifi Perez was suspended for 25 games today by Major League Baseball for testing postive for a banned stimulant.

The suspension is effective immediately. The Tigers open a three-game series tonight at home against the Boston Red Sox.

He's the first major league player suspended for uppers, which means he failed his second test. Given his horrid performance at the plate this season, this can only help the Tigers over the next month. Neifi's OPS is lower than Bonds' OBA!

I don't think it would matter to his hitting if Neifi Perez took hallucinogens.

With hallucinogens, maybe he'd at least swing the bat harder in a random fashion, which would have to lead to a few solid hits once in a while. Neifi looks like he's purposefully hitting fungoes when he's at the plate.

Never has a team's fan base been so excited to see one of its players suspended.
