Rumored List of Players in Mitchell Report

Rumored List of Players in Mitchell Report

The Mitchell Report is slated to come out today and there is a rumored list of the players that may be involved in the steroid problem in baseball.

Some questions that are being raised about this report before it gets to the media are:

Are there any star players? According to the rumored list there are several star players from this era and from the nineties in the report. They Include:

Barry Bonds

Roger Clemens

Jeff Bagwell

Nomar Garciaparra

And more

Are there any Red Sox players on the list? (George Mitchell is employed by the Red Sox) The answer to this from the rumored list is yes. There are numerous past Red Sox players on the list and there is one current player on the list Jason Varitek. The Red Sox Players (past or present) on the rumored list are:

Manny Alexander

Johnny Damon

Jose Canseco

Carl Everett

Paxton Crawford

Roger Clemens

Nomar Garciaparra

Jeremy Giambi

Clay Hensley

Guillermo Mota

Trot Nixon

Jose Offerman

Mo Vaughn

Jason Varitek

Eric Gagne

Dante Bichette

Rich Garces

Julian Tavarez

Now beyond those two big questions not much else can be answered. It is not known what else George Mitchell's report has in store for us, but it seems as if the lists of rumored names on the report are anything but surprising.

Brady Anderson formerly of the Orioles has been rumored for years, as has Barry Bonds, Juan Gonzales, the Conseco and Giambi brothers, Matt Williams, Kerry Wood and about half of the list all together. No one should really be surprised by any of these names being in the report as we have all known for a long time their potential involvement.

Other players are a little more surprising to be named in the rumored list of the names on the report. Red Sox captain Jason Varitek is one who is a surprise on the list. Also Johnny Damon, Andy Pettite, Eric Gange, Albert Pujols, Brian Roberts and the late Darryl Kyle.

The fallout from this could be great. There are a number of star players in this rumored list and if they are on the report they could face suspensions or just a tarnished image. The Yankees alone could have several key players next year set to miss the first quarter of the season. These players include Andy Pettite, who just signed a new, one-year deal and Johnny Damon.
