Rockies C Eliezer Alfonzo Suspended 100 Games for 2nd PED Violation
Tracy Ringolsby was the first I saw to report the news. Ringolsby tweeted shortly thereafter that Alfonzo plans to appeal the suspension. If the appeal is denied, it could signal the end of Alfonzo's career.
What's Jim Tracy going to do now?

Is it wrong to be happy about this?
Because I really really am. And I mean, it’s not like he got injured. Cheering that would be wrong. He did this to himself.

He's claiming he didn't do it. From Ringolsby:
Elizer Alfonzo will appeal 2nd PED suspension. ``I learned my lesson in 2008 and have not taken any prohibited substances since then.’’
I am prepared to make a case in his defense.

No way
assuming he took the substance within the last week, that would explain his 1.000 batting average.
Just an average guy with exceptional hair. Nothing more, nothing less.

100 game suspension seems pretty severe
for a guy who’s only played 193 games in his entire career…
you couldn’t make this up if you tried…
OMG. This news has apparently broken Twitter.
I mean the timing is more than curious.

Not. Shocked.
The guy is bigger than Giambi.

I'm not happy.
now if we could just get Tracy on a year long suspension
that’d be great.

Don't worry everybody
Tracy will find some other below replacement level catcher to give 50 starts to next year. I guarantee it.
Rosario?
Lol. I think it’s him and CDI next year.

Tracy will find a way to give Pacheco more starts at C than Iannetta

I would love it that was the case, I really would
but we do have a manager that hates young players and has an unnatural obsession with gritty veterans.
