Here is the story....

Franklin slapped with 10-day suspensionBy Jerry Crasnick

Seattle Mariners pitcher Ryan Franklin has failed a drug test and will receive a 10-day suspension under the terms of Major League Baseball's tougher steroids policy, a source familiar with the situation told ESPN.com.

An official announcement from MLB is expected Tuesday afternoon. A representative from Franklin-Frye-McCann agency, which represents Franklin, said the pitcher will talk to the media after 2 p.m. ET today in Detroit.

MLB officials could not be reached to comment, and the Mariners wouldn't confirm news of the suspension.

Franklin, 32, has a career record of 33-46 with a 4.19 ERA in six major-league seasons, all with Seattle. He is 6-11 with a 4.61 ERA this season.

A day after baseball announced that Baltimore first baseman Rafael Palmeiro had failed his test, Franklin became the eighth player to receive a suspension under MLB's more stringent drug policy, which took effect in March.

The other major leaguers who have received suspensions for using performance-enhancing drugs this season are Seattle's Jamal Strong, Cleveland's Rafael Betancourt, Minnesota's Juan Rincon, Colorado's Jorge Piedra, Texas' Agustin Montero, and Tampa Bay's Alex Sanchez, who is now playing for the San Francisco Giants.

I totally agree with ya... Big Papi is just that BIG... But i honestly can see Manny taking them

I dont know why manny would take roids he dont need them. He is a pure hitter and with or without the steroids he can mash. Of course he is stupid enough to take them so who knows?

[10DimeBry]

what i can tell you for 100% sure is that Jason Giambi is definately back on the juice. He is mashing the ball lately and on top of that he even looks stronger. He's on it and i dont blame him cause he sucks without the roids
