Detroit Tigers infielder Neifi Perez was suspended for 80 games Friday after testing positive for a third time for a banned stimulant.

 

Perez has been the only player suspended by baseball for stimulants since baseball banned them before the 2006 season.

 

Sorry I couldn't find the old post for it.

Still can't believe Hendry was able to unload him on DET.

You beat my thread! I had to double-take looking at this.

 

WHAT IS HE TAKING?

Does it even matter at this point? He was already probably finished, this just puts a period at the end of the sentence.

The real question is: how did he ever get started?

Neifi Perez has been given an 80-game suspension after testing positive for a banned stimulant for the third time.

Perez was forced to attend counseling after his first positive test and then received a 25-game suspension after testing positive again in early July. This suspension ends his season. Perez is the only player to test positive for stimulants since baseball banned them in 2006, which makes the whole situation somewhat curious.

:? interesting?

Was he even back playing since his previous, 25-game suspension?

 

I'm unclear.

Yeah he was, I remember seeing him play in a game just a few days ago.

Well his papa Dusty always told him "speed never slumps". I guess he really took it to heart.

Only one more positive test til the baseball world is rid of him forever. :twisted:

He's done. Even without the drug busts he would have had a hard time making anyone's roster next year. Can't imagine who'd want him now.

Neifi Perez had to cheat to become as good as he is, and if memory serves, he is now the all-time "leader" in negative BRAA.

No, these aren't performance enhancing stimulants from what I understand.

This will really help Detriot's Neifi Index.

for the lazy.......

 

Neifi Index. Named for infielder Neifi Pérez, this statistic measures a player's ability to contribute to his team's success by not playing. Introduced as an award that "we, the great whiffing, grounder-booting, sedentary lifestyle-leading masses, wouldn't just have a chance of winning if we were allowed to play. We'd be a lock", the Neifi Index is the difference between a player's team's winning percentage when he does not play and when he does play. It is called the Neifi Index because when Kaufman first computed it, the San Francisco Giants winning percentage when Pérez did not play was .929, but was only .542 when he did play, thus giving him a Neifi Index of .387.

 

 

This will really help Detriot's Neifi Index.

If your going to juice at least get something that is going to make you better.

Maybe I'm just cynical . . . but I wouldn't discount the Tigers' clubhouse chefs slipping a Dexedrine mickey into Neifi's pregame meal just to rid him of their roster for the rest of the season.

more inconspicuous than a tanya harding-esque trip to the DL, I suppose...
