Apparently he hasn't turned it around yet:

AP[/url]"]MEDFORD, Mass. -- Former Florida Marlins first-round draft pick Jeff Allison was hospitalized after a friend found him unconscious on a bathroom floor, surrounded by what police said was heroin paraphernalia.

 

A police report obtained by The Boston Globe cited heroin injection as the cause for the 21-year-old right-hander's condition. Allison was found Monday with a bag with heroin paraphernalia on the floor of the bathroom, the paper reported Thursday.

He was treated and released.

you'd think after the SI article the kid would be ready to turn the corner.

 

it's a damn shame. I knew a guy just like him. choice of scholarship to Ohio State for football or go into the Yankees system as a pitcher. instead he chose to do lots of cocaine and hold up convenient stores.

Good one -- my first thought was Craig Krenzel.

No love for Art Schlichter? :D

tried to find the guy on the cube but couldn't, although he had a Polish last name I can't pronounce much less spell and I don't know what high school he went to, so that makes it difficult. maybe what I heard about him was greatly exaggerated. there's probably a good chance he never graduated high school so was only scouted and not drafted. whatever the case, I can vouch that the guy could throw a softball in the mid to upper 90's easily and wasted his talent.

 

one thing I did find out while perusing the cube in my search is there is a chance I batted against a future major leaguer. Juan Acevedo was born the same year as I and attended a high school in my conference. who knows if he was in the US and at an age appropriate grade as a freshman and sophomore, but if he was, I batted against him.

Psh, I actually faced a player who reached the big leagues in a playoff game. Heck, he used to be a Cub farmhand.

 

And I drew a walk off him.

Don't think you're special just because a Cubs pitcher walked you.

You're so ugly he was having a hard time even looking at the plate :wink:

FORMER!

 

He was already in his ex-Cub prospect, current-Marlin stud pitcher mode. :)

Nice, when they come to LA did you bring a sign to let him know you own him? :P

if I did bat against Acevedo, I doubt I reached base against him. his high school owned us. iirc, 8 games over two years, we went 0-8 and had 7 losses by slaughter rule. my biggest accomplishment against them was taking a bad hop liner off my shoulder and still getting the out, leaving the game because I couldn't feel my arm, and using the rest of my time to steal their signs.
