We have all heard about the “Twins Way”. The team from top
to bottom is supposed to play solid defense, have some solid pitching and win
the game by manufacturing runs. We can all see how great that is currently
working.
On Monday, the news of the Ryan Braun suspension came down
the line and made me realize what the Twins have been missing... a whole lot of
PED use. That’s performance enhancing drugs for all you kids out there.
While alleged PEDs and positive PED tests have tainted MVP
seasons and Hall of Fame careers for players all around baseball, the Twins
have barely been touched by the dirty stuff.
On May 2, 2005 it was announced that Juan Rincón had been
suspended for ten days for a failed drug test. Aaaaaannnndddddd that it…. the
Twins biggest name to ever be connected to PEDs is Juan Rincon.
You know what Juan Rincon is doing right now?
He’s currently pitching for the York Revolution, an
Independent League baseball team founded in 2007.
Fun fact: Anthony
Slama also just signed with the Revolution earlier this month
(#freeAnthonySlama).
The Twins have so many problems that we could spend a whole fort
week listing them all and trying to solve it, but we never bring up the fact
that the Twins just don’t have enough guys that are juicing.
