This guy was supposed to be a real stud. Then drugs got in the way.

Last I saw was a recent HBO Real Sports about him and most thought his comeback was going to be fruitless. He was playing A ball or somthing as a 23 or 24 year old and not necessarily tearing it up.

Does anybody know what he did recently to warrant this?

So now he has to spend a year on a ML roster right? Good luck with that Krivsky.

The Nationals should have given him a look.

Yeah, I've heard a lot about this kid through those ESPN things they show during the day. I'm looking forward to seeing him play.

The guy used heroin or something. Is is safe to assume he probably did roids too?
