If Hill has concentration problems, then maybe he needs ADD meds like Eyre. They turned Eyre's career around.

 

Didn't he stop taking them because MLB deemed Adderall a PED? I seem to recall he was kicking tail a year or two ago and then fell off the deep end and I read something about how he had to stop taking his ADD medication because it had a banned substance in it or something.

 

Adderall is a fantastic drug if you have ADD or troubles focusing and paying attention.

 

Really? If true, then that sucks. That screams "medical necessity" to me. I'm all for PED policies, but if a doctor says you need to take a medication for a diagnosed condition, then your employer needs to back off.

Pretty sure that Eyre gets a medical necessity pass. This blog entry quotes a now offline Tribune article about it.

 

So unless things have changed since 2006, he should still be able to take it.

geez, they really have no idea what to do with him, huh?

 

i guess the next stab in the dark

 

 

is to just let him sit there for a couple weeks and hope he comes back good. i'm not real confident in that strategy. wow.

 

What?...... How did you come up with any of that?

 

abuck hates the Cubs.

 

He's just here for the chicken wings.

He had to stop taking them for awhile, as witnessed by his horrible beginning last year. He fought it and won, if I recall correctly and started taking them again. He's been pretty solid ever since. I'm recalling this from memory, so someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

He's like a self-hating Jew.
