A couple of you
wrote to ask that Ryan Braun has been tested during the playoffs - technically
still BBWA voting was done at the end of the regular season - should not
matter. Not for me. First,
it would be extremely naive to believe a player is to take drugs for the first
time (and the risk of adverse effects on the body) during the period of one or
two weeks after the regular season and team plays its biggest
series in the year.
Second, this
award is for the 2011 season, and people will remember the playoffs, how they
remember something this year, or other sezon. BBWAA not be embarrassed by
announcing a symbolic price, this season, when MLB
officials knew in advance that the player tested positive. I
will not let the player guilty of the ridge on tenuous subtleties. I'll
let others do it, if not the best they can do.
Superb news today the Milwaukee slugger Ryan Braun was unable to test drugs for week’s performance before he was named the National League Most Valuable Player.
Nothing had yet been published and therefore, Ryan Braun appealed the findings. Its representatives say there are very unusual circumstances surrounding this case, but it's up to them to prove it.
It is interesting to note here that the player never appealed successfully against a positive test result. There's a first time for everything, I guess. But Ryan Braun seems pretty confident he will be acquitted. We shall see.
But what worries me is that members of the Baseball Writers of America (BBWA) were allowed to vote as Brown MVP while large baseball officials have kept everyone in the dark. Now I can understand why these officers would remain silent and protect the rights of appeal to Ryan Braun.
But in all honesty, I hope they also know that members should BBWA - if the call fails - will be able to re-vote for the MVP.
