Players who were even remotely associated with PED use during their major league careers have gotten the cold shoulder from Hall of Fame voters so far, so the outlook doesn’t look particularly rosy for these four players who were suspended by MLB. Babe Ruth is the WAR king, with a rating of 183.6 over his 22-year career for an average of 8.3 per se...
It's important to note this is the largest group of players. So while PED use been a problem in the minor leagues and among marginal players, it is by no means limited to those struggling to get to the top. MATT LAWTON — Yankees All-Star appearances:2 (2000 – Twins, 2004 – Indians) Suspended:2005 (10 days) Career numbers: .267 BA, 138 HR, 631 RBIs,...
These players played in their last MLB season the same year they were suspended. No, there’s no way of knowing if PED use directly derailed their careers, but it’s a large enough group to take notice. ALEX SANCHEZ — Rays Suspended: 2005 (10 days) Career statistics: .296 BA, 6 HR, 111 RBIs, 1.1 WAR (0.2 avg. over five seasons) JAMAL STRONG — Mariner...
Manny Ramirez would fit into this tier as well for his multiple suspensions. This group is composed of the other three players who were suspended twice during their major league careers. One interesting note here is that Eliezer Alfonzo’s second suspension actually was shorter due to a discrepancy with the testing procedure. Another is that Neifi P...
This is a dubious category. These four are the only suspended players who registered career WARs below zero, which would suggest they were replacement level players. WAR is far from an all-telling metric, but a sub-zero rating is never good news. FREDDY GALVIS — Phillies Suspended: 2012 (50 games) Career statistics: .218 BA, 13 HR, 55 RBIs, -0.1 WA...
For example, J.C. Romero was suspended with the Phillies in 2009, and Antonio Bastardo was his teammate that year. Bastardo was later suspended in 2013 for PED use. The Padres and the Phillies seem to have issues here. J.C. ROMERO — Phillies Suspended: 2009 (50 games) Career statistics: 34 W, 4.16 ERA, 7.7 WAR (0.4 avg. over 14 seasons) ANTONIO BAS...
Mike Morse gets his own category as the only player suspended under the original penalty structure remaining in the major leagues. Suspended in September 2005, Morse rebounded to have a lengthy career. He’s now a member of the Marlins after winning a World Series title with the Giants in 2014.

Juan Salas is the only player who has been suspended for more games than he appeared in during his major league career. Salas only played in 47 games over three major league seasons. JUAN SALAS — Rays Suspended: 2007 (50 games) Career statistics: 1 W, 4.44 ERA, 0.4 WAR (0.1 avg. over three seasons)
Jose Guillen (Getty Images) The following six PED offenders don’t fit into any of the categories above, which perhaps is an accomplishment in itself. JUAN RINCON — Twins Suspended:2005 (10 days) Career statistics:35 W, 4.03 ERA, 4.6 WAR (0.5 avg. over 10 seasons) RYAN FRANKLIN — Mariners Suspended: 2005 (10 days) Career statistics:62 W, 4.14 ERA, 1...
