Minor-league outfielder Jordan Shafer, the Braves' top prospect and future center fielder, has tested positive for steroids and, per Major League Baseball policy, will be suspended for 50 games.
Shafer is playing this season at Class AA Mississippi while the Braves groom him to be the starting center fielder in Atlanta as early as next season.

Wow, I don't remember a top prospect being suspended for suing them. I guess you never really think of these young kids using them, or at least I don't really.
Poor jaysdude first finding out that Santa isn't real, then that Bonderman sucks, now his favorite prospect is on roids.

| Major League Baseball announced late Tuesday afternoon that Schafer has been suspended 50 games for using human growth hormone, a performance-enhancing substance that is in direct violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. |

Wow, that sucks for JD there. Also sucks for Rockshu too, I think he picked Schafer over Austin Jackson in another league. Should have listened man.
But yeah this is suprising, probably the best prospect to get suspended for PEDs.
