This just came across came across the wire:

St. Louis Cardinals minor leaguer Alan Ahmady has been suspended for 50 games after testing positive for an amphetamine. The 21-year-old Ahmady played this season in Class A Batavia, N.Y.

Ahmady was one of my favorite players this past season. He's also the one who hit a home run over The Batavian sign in right field in the fifth inning, winning one lucky fan $250.

He was also one of my favorites. If he can get past this and be clean, I think he has the skills to be a strong pro in the years to come.

I bet he makes the major leagues. He may not be a star, but they seem to be grooming him to be a utility player.
