@mosespippy: The chances we will make the playoffs with essentially at least 2 dead positions offense wise (DH and Craig Gentry) are pretty slim, woulda been hard even with Cruz anyway. It's more in his interests to serve his suspension going into Free Agency so he can play for another team. I highly doubt he took the suspension for playoff purposes.
I mean I suppose maybe He and JD had talked it out before it came down, it just seems highly unlikely.
And frankly to anyone who wants to get on the High Horse of him betraying the trust of the fans should put yourself in his shoes.
He was a 4A ball-player (bounced between majors and Triple A) for a long time. He either takes PED's to thrust himself into the majors so he can get a contract or at least Major League Minimum(because he never played in the majors for a long enough stint for it) to be set-up for life or he goes back to being a Mechanic in a 2nd World country for the rest of his life because minor league plays get paid a pittance by comparison roughly 2100 bucks a month WHILE YOU ARE PLAYING.
So yea if I was Cruz I woulda done the exact same thing
