Union cheif visits Braves camp

Major League Baseball Players Union President Donald Fehr made an appearance at Braves camp on Tuesday. Among the things he talked about over his 2 hour rant was blood tests for HGH. While publically Fehr said he would be willing to allow blood tests when a proper test is found for HGH, privately he told players about the "pitfalls of using blood tests." Telling them if proposals asking to freeze players blood samples were inacted, said samples could possibly be contaminated.

Braves player rep Jeff Francoeur thought Fehr's talk was encouraging for the players, adding that Fehr insisted that "baseball is in a great state right now, as far as financially with the teams making money and players making money. It's a great thing right now."

Fehr makes annual rounds to each team to discuss the state of baseball and any concerns he may have for the players future.
