  • In-season HGH Testing. Will it affect your draft strategy?

    Do you guys think that the new in-season HGH Testing policy will affect your draft strategy? Will you look at a guy who comes out of nowhere differently now (Joey Bats, E5)? Will you be "slightly" scared off by guys with bigger physiques who have been rumored to be juicing (Pujols)?

    The first thing that popped in my mind when MLB made the announcement was "Someone's fantasy team is going to be screwed."

      I'm betting it's going to kill a ton of players...yahoo might want to go ahead and make a roster spot like DL but call it HGH...

      The risk is the same as if you drafted a player who had a season ending injury. Last season I picked up a player who was suspected of HGH, but the charges were dropped and he paid off for me for the whole season. The team who had him, was going to have him as one of his keepers, but the rumors regarding being "juiced" made the decision for him not to keep him.
