HBT:?Padre catcher?suspended 50 games for PEDs

And with this, the Padres are in the market for a catcher:

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that San Diego Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal has received a 50-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Testosterone, a performance-enhancing substance in violation of Major League Baseball?s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Grandal was a rookie in 2012 and, after making a nice big splash with a home run streak after his callup, he missed a lot of time due to an oblique injury.

One wonders if he was so eager, now that he finally had a shot at a regular big league job, that he went a bridge too far in trying to come back from the injury. Or to compensate for lost power as a result of it.

UPDATE: Grandal has released a statement:

?I am responsible for what I put into my body. I must accept responsibility for my actions and serve my suspension.?
