Mannywood Suspended!

The LA Times has broken the story. Manny Ramirez will be suspended for PED’s for 50 games effective today. This looks to be true as the Dodgers have already made a move to promote outfielder Xaiver Paul from the minors. Manny would be set to return around July 4th from this suspension.

The obvious effect of this will be how will the Dodgers make up Manny’s production? He is batting .348 with a .492 on base percentage and slugging .641. Manny is a once in a generation type hitter, so there is no one way to make this up. Juan Pierre looks to benefit from this the most, as he will start everyday in left field for the Dodgers.

According to the article from the LA Times it was a medication he received from a doctor on an unrelated medical issue.

Man, tough time to be a Dodgers fan. Every recent accomplishment with a big asterix. The tides are changing in the NL West.

I have to agree with you. I’m not a Dodgers fan, but my fantasy team has taken a huge hit with this.
