Mitchell Report: 10 Players That Won't Be Listed

Mitchell Report: 10 Players That Won't Be Listed PhotoI feel like a kid again on Christmas Eve awaiting the gifts that Santa Mitchell will bring for us tomorrow. Supposedly 60-80 presents will be wrapped neatly under our tree. We baseball fans have been good and we deserve more, but we'll take what we can get.

We've speculated about all the possible names for some time now, but here's some names I'd be stunned to see listed in George Mitchell's investigation

Jason Tyner This Twin has had 1,356 at-bats in his 7 seasons and only once has he sent a baseball over the outfield wall.

Rich Garces No longer in the league, but the Mitchell Report will apparently name many former players. In any case, El Guapo's human growth hormone was burritos, and many of them. Just for breakfast.

Juan Pierre
Can we agree he has the smallest head in baseball? Not even a vat of HGH could get his in range of Barry Bonds. Not to mention he's not actually power prone. 2007: 668 AB, 0 HR

John Olerud Goes without saying ...

Unless he's storing a closet full of syringes in his stomach, which would explain a lot, it's safe to say our six fingered friend is safe.

Ken Griffey Jr Which is why he'll always be one of the best.

Dmitri Young Fat, soft, slow ... all that power is fueled from cheeseburgers.

Sean Casey
The mayor has a great contact rate and is a pretty big boy. He'd have hit himself a few more homers in his day with chemical assistance. Plus, he's the mayor and most admired around the league.

Omar Vizquel
During MLB's big steroid boom the gold glover hit a mere 5 HR's in 1999, while most had career years. Not to mention he's remained a mere 165 lbs.

Ryan Theroit and David Eckstein Two guys this diminutive don't need it, they've got underdoggedness. You won't see a Brett Boone like explosion from either.

Rest up, big day of opening presents tomorrow. Yes, we will most certainly have a live Mitchell Report thread.

I'd give anything to see Eckstein or Jeter on that list.  The reaction would be so fun to watch.

Jeter would be hilarious. That reaction will be similar to that of when Bonds' name isn't said.

60-80 players is not a lot at all. I don't understand why they spent that much money. if you got 50 baseball fans in a room, I think we could name 60 players easily.

I've heard a rumor that the Yankees get mentioned a lot (but no Jeter or Rivera). This could include Clemens.
#8 | 204 days ago
