RR Mitchell Report Pool
Tomorrow is the long awaited Mitchell Report Day. Rumors abound that the Senator's findings will name 60-80 current and former Major League players. Here's your chance for wild speculation.
The Rules
List ten players, 1 through 10, that you believe will be "named" (mentioned in any pejorative way in the Mitchell Report). You'll receive 10 points if your #1 name is listed, 9 points for #2 and so on (like an NFL confidence pool). As a bonus any former Reds players will result in double points (so ten points if you had Frank Robinson at #6 on your list and he's named).
Note the list of ineligible players below! Any player who has admitted usage, tested positive, or been implicated through some sort of leak is not acceptable. Be creative and show your biases.
Please use this diary only to post your list of 10. For questions or further steroid talk use this one.
And folks, please just scroll quickly to the bottom and make your list. Don't look at other peoples' picks. That would be cheating on a steroid pool, which is way too meta for me to handle. Also no changing your list with 'Reply to'. The deadline is 2:00 PM on Thursday. Good luck!

looking back over everyone else's lists
im also curious to see how glenn braggs vs. darren bragg plays out. I think i backed a fairly powerful sleeper.

Cameron
I've also enjoyed looking at others lists, even when it's reminded me of the obvious guys I missed. Lyle Mouton sent me scurrying to bb-ref. I'm thinking Man Mountain has some inside LSU dirt on that one.

I also thought Cameron was off limits. I was thinking of putting Chris Stynes on my list when I went out to the bar, but something happened to impair my memory..

Barry Bonds - Steroids
is of course wrong. He admits using something that looks like "The Cream", which the feds say is a steroid. Bonds, however, adimantly denies he knowingly used steroids.

I blame Senator Mitchell for these disappointing results. If he couldn't get anything on Brady Anderson he wasn't trying very hard.
