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.

Perez has played in 33 games this season, with six RBIs, 11 hits and one run. He is batting .172.

talk about a big loss...why couldn't it have been Guillen?

What a dumbass.

My first reaction was "Why not Ramon Santiago?" but then it ocurred to me that Raburn is probably here to replace Monroe.

What's up with Clevelen?

I thought they should bring up Mike Hessman, throw him out there for a few ABs... He's been hitting a ton of dingers at Toledo.

Raburn can't play SS, but he is beating the F out of the ball in AAA...

Think Shelton will ever wear the Olde English D ever again?


Talk about falling off the face of the Earth...

Clevelen's been terrible this year, Shelton's out of options, and I really hope we release Neifi.

I am hoping that the Raburn callup means that Monroe is going to be finally traded.
