Free J.C.
Peter Gammons does an excellent job of reporting the details on J.C. Romero's suspension.
Romero has been suspended 50 games and fined $1.25 million for "negligence" in regards to an over-the-counter supplement he took after -- repeat after -- the supplement was cleared by the players' union, two nutritionists and the Phillies' strength and conditioning coach.
According to Gammons, Romero failed several drug tests in August and September, appealed the findings, and actually had an arbitration hearing during the playoffs and World Series. It's amazing to think how well he pitched given everything that was going on around him.
Romero maintains his innocence and to be frank, so do I. Free J.C.
