[TBP]

Was in the list of 103 players who failed the preliminary test just before they put the penalties in place.

Also, fits the PED pattern perfectly. When he came up with the Twins, he was a little scat hitter who could barely hit enough to stay in the majors.

The Twins sent him to AAA, then released him. The Red Sox signed him for Pawtucket (AAA). Suddenly, he bulked up and became a big-time power hitter.
