Controversy in the American Pasttime

Over the past view weeks two main controversies have arisen in the game of baseball. The first involves my boy Bartolo Colon. Colon has revived his career after a surgery in Puerto Rico where he had stem cells injected into his rotator cuff and other shoulder ligaments to jump start his career. The surgery is being discussed whether he should be punished for it or not. I feel that as long no true steroids or enhancers were put into his body is he is all good. No suspension should come from this. I mean stem cells are not even banned and players such as Barry Bonds and A-Rod were never suspended and they actually took steroids. Nothing should be done but baseball should look into other procedures that are occurring in other countries. Before my second talk I just want to remind you of the fan question I will discuss on Thursday. Who is the best double play combo in MLB history? Leave answers as comments on the blog or the facebook site. Now onto the last topic. Should rules be put into place to protect catchers at the plate. I feel to protect catchers set up a collision zone or an arc like in the NBA. The rules would be simple if the player is on the arc or in the collision zone he is fair game for a railroad or a take out. If a catcher is hit outside the zone he will be automatically out. Repeat offenders will be subject to fines and suspensions. By implementing these rules the play can still be exciting but the catcher can also avoid blindsided hits. Tomorrow I will break down game 1 and grill Jim Tressel on his resignation.
