Tigerfan asked about the 80-game suspension for Neifi Perez in a comment to one of my earlier blog items. Rather than tack another comment on there, I decided to start a new item.
How can Perez, who’s career was hanging by a thread anyway, continue to take a banned stimulant when he already is on suspension? That wasn’t very bright. Anyone who does that deserves an 80-game ban.
If Perez gets caught again, he faces a lifetime ban. But that doesn’t really matter. The 80-game suspension is effectively a lifetime ban anyway. No one is going to take a chance on a weak-hitting, utility infielder with drug problems.
Tiger fans should be happy. Neifi was the man they loved to hate anyway.
