John Lott @LottOnBaseball 10m
New Hampshire OF Brian Van Kirk suspended 50G after testing positive for "drug of abuse," 2nd violation. #BlueJays
Odd coincidences here: Stroman served 50 games, and Melky passed through on his rehab.

A "drug of abuse" is not a PED.

Yep. Amphetamines are a possibility...I believe that MLB technically counts them as a 'drug of abuse', but they're often taken for performance reasons.

One of my buddies spent time with Van Kirk in Auburn. He likes his bong hits.

WTF is it with the guys playing at New Hampshire?
Now Sean Ochinko has been suspended. He spent much of the season in NH.
Alan Farina is on the Cats. He was suspended while on the Dunedin roster this year.
Stroman was on the Cats at the time of his suspension.

In the minors you can get suspended for weed, in the MLB they don't suspend for that.

That was precisely my point with Van Kirk. This came as no surprise to me that he got caught.
