Schafer Busted!

Well, maybe the Braves will need the services of Mark Kotsay a little longer than they thought after Braves top prospect Jordan Schafer was busted for HGH use. Goodness kid, didn't you read the study, they do more harm than good! Schafer will have plenty of time to cruise around in his hummer (if he can afford the gas) after being suspended for 50 games for the infraction, effective immediately. The team had this to say about the announcement:

“We are extremely disappointed that Jordan has violated the Commissioner's Performance Enhancing Drug Policy," Braves general manager Frank Wren said in a prepared statement. "We are supportive of the program and will continue to educate all of our players. Earlier today Jordan asked to speak to his teammates to apologize for the mistakes he has made and for letting the organization and his team down. During his suspension, we will continue to support and counsel Jordan."

Goodness did he ever screw up. But unlike his could be teammate Scott Spiezio, at least he wasn't arrested.
