    11 players named in Mitchell's steroids probe
    This players will have no problems getting signed by some team. I mean Paul Byrd just had his option picked up by the Tribe just last week, and he was implicated for using HGH.

    11 players named in Mitchell's steroids probe

    Eleven current free agents will be named in former Senator George Mitchell's report on steroids use in baseball and all 11 players have been notified by the commissioner's office, The Boston Globe reported on its Web site Thursday afternoon.

    The newspaper, citing two agents who attended Wednesday's union meeting in New York, said the agents confirmed this news Thursday.

    Jose Guillen, a free-agent linked to a Florida anti-aging clinic at the center of a federal investigation into illegal steroid sales, is one of the 11 players who allegedly bought steroids, The Globe reported.

    Baseball team officials were told last month to be prepared for Mitchell, a former Senate Majority Leader and director of the Boston Red Sox, to issue his report by the end of the year.

    Mitchell's staff sent lawyers representing some players with ties to the BALCO investigation letters that notified them of the deadline, CBS News reported Wednesday, citing a lawyer who received the letter.

    I think this story was a mix up. The 11 were just requested to be interviewed by Mitchell.



    The whole MLB steroid thing is getting old, and unless Barry Bonds is arrested and all his records are thrown out, then it just doesn't matter.

      Naming 11 out of the 1,100 (plus) that played from the early 90s up to the present is not only a joke, but an injustice. I believe I'm going to have to start substituting my baseball time in the summer with fishing time.

        I would agree with that statement Willie.

        I wouldn't doubt if Ricky Henderson took roids while playing in a contract years, because he always had career years when it was a contract year.
