This was not unexpected.

Where it's going next is the names. Knowing that Greg Anderson has already named them is important, but expected. I'm no lawyer, but I watch enough Law & Order to know a strategy when I see it - they're driving a wedge, hoping that someone will cave or blurt out a confession. Watch enough Tivo and it's amazing what you learn ...

In all seriousness, this is an expected thing and the six names have been circulating for a while. Like any rumor, I'd like to see MLB (and perhaps the players) try to get out in front of it. What would happen if a player came out and said, "Yep, it was me. I took steroids." Would they get the first offense counseling penalty? Certainly there would be a thrashing in the media, but if a player could get away with just counseling, well, that's not really much of a deterrent, is it?

Maybe Bud could grab a confessional ... "I need an old priest and a young priest."
