Summary: In this episode you will find: A bit of conversation on some NSF supplements, a rash of MILB suspensions, mascots and the new top 100 prospect list from Baseball America. Here's what you'll get in this episode: Over the course of the off-season more than a handful of MILB players have been suspended for 50 games due to usage of "drugs of abuse" and other violations. The crew talks about the need for players to be hyper-alert about what they put in their bodies. For many of the younger players, many from other countries, the world of supplements can be a dangerous mine field to navigate. Additionally, it is interesting to see how these "seasonal" employees are subject to year-round drug testing and other restrictions. February would be an even more unbearable month if it were not for the release of the Baseball America prospect handbook. The MILB bible has hit the shelves and we take a quick peak at some of the haves and have nots. Jay and Mike are hoping that this will be they year they finally get to see Dylan Bundy pitch. Lets hope he is in that Bowie rotation. We wrap up with a little discussion on the best method to creating and being a mascot. How athletic is your favorite mascot friend and how many members of your office could pull off being inside the costume for a day.
