Bronson Arroyo is just one of many professional ballplayers who feel the need to pop pills to stay close to or in front of their competition. His father says he was taking supplements since he was 5 years old (did I read that correctly?). Stories like this show us exactly how severely MLB executives screwed up the game of baseball. Don't be fooled that the era is over. Pharmaceutical companies are spending more than ever on research and development of the next great supplement. It's hard to... Read Full Story

Andro was banned by MLB in 2004 because it was tainted with steroids. Taking andro could cause a positive steroid test because it was laced with... Read Full Story
According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports , the Yankees had initial interest in Cincinnati pitchers Bronson Arroyo and Aaron Harang , but backed off when the Reds declined to pick up any portion of either pitcher’s salaries.
Harang has a 4-year/$36.5 million deal that expires after 2010, but comes with a 2011 club option for $12.75 million or a $2 million buy out. Essentially any team that acquires him would be on the hook for the remainder of this season and $14.5 million in 2010.

Hidden within a Cincinnati Reds mailbag is an interesting nugget of information about two pitchers that could be available. In this mailbag , Hal McCoy speculates that if the Reds "nose dive" they may trade Bronson Arroyo and/or Aaron Harang. These are not the first rumors we've heard about the pair. Right now the Reds are one of those teams trying to decide whether to go for the playoffs or not. They're 5.5 games behind the Cardinals in the NL Central and have three other teams ahead of them...

Arroyo claims he was using the supplement Andro, which was rumored to be tainted with steroids.
He said: “Before 2004, none of us paid any attention to anything we took… Now they don’t want us to take anything unless it’s approved. But back then, who knows what was in stuff? The FDA wasn’t... Read Full Story
Jon Paul Morosi of Fox Sports is reporting that Reds starting pitchers Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo have cleared waivers. Harang is under contract for next season at $12.5 million, Arroyo at $11 million. (Cincinnati holds club options on both for 2011.) The Reds would probably need to assume a portion of that money in order to move either pitcher. Aaron Harang is 6-13, with a 4.43 ERA in 23 starts.Bronson Arroyo is 10-11, with a 5.04 ERA in 24 starts. Put of the two I'd rather they went... Read Full Story
Frank is hearing that Arizona and the Yankees are talking about pitching. A starter/reliever package from what he was told. Nothing as come to fruition and he is working on more details.
Wouldn’t Chad Qualls look good in the eighth inning? Especially if Hughes, as Peter Abraham mentioned today , is being worked back into the rotation. Also Doug Davis would make sense for the Yankees.
Frank also said nothing on Bronson Arroyo. Cincinnati wants top prospects.
Remember, Arroyo also has a... Read Full Story
Spot starts is a daily series that I will be starting up here at Fantasy Baseball Flash, to help fantasy baseball owners in daily leagues determine which pitchers they may want to roster for a spot-start that day. Owners in leagues that have inning maximums should be careful of their limit. Using spot-start pitchers is a highly effective way to get good numbers out of one pitching spot.
Today’s spot start is:
Gil Meche, Kansas City Royals . Over Meche’s last three starts, he is a... Read Full Story
