0 Subject: Volquez "suspended" 50 games

50 game ban, BUT they let him serve it while he is rehabbing.

WTF! A SP pitcher only only has to sit out about 20% of the games anyway. What is the point of such a toothless penalty? This is like a school suspension that counts weekend days.

Agreed. He should have to be medically cleared to play and removed from DL before suspension starts. Since he wasn't slated to even be ready before the enxt 50 games is up, all he's doing is giving up his salary--which he loses anyhow. I also don't like that players are able to play in minor league games when they are suspended from MLB games.
