="George Mitchell"] Mark Carreon Mark Carreon played as an outfielder in Major League Baseball from 1987 to1996, with the New York Mets, Detroit Tigers, San Francisco Giants, and Cleveland Indians. Radomski worked for the Mets when Carreon played for the club. Radomski said that he provided Carreon with Dianabol pills toward the end of his tenure with the Giants(Carreon was with San Francisco from 1994 through the middle of the 1996 season). He believes that Carreon paid by check. According to Radomski, Carreon told him that the "ball was jumping off his bat" and that he could hit farther because of the anabolic steroids he used.In order to provide Carreon with information about these allegations and to give him an opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me. He did not respond to my request.

="George Mitchell"] Matt Franco Matt Franco played as an infielder with three teams in Major League Baseball between 1995 and 2003, the New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, and Atlanta Braves. Although Radomski stopped working for the Mets after the 1994 season, he continued to socialize with Mets players and personnel. Radomski said he met Franco when he played for the Mets and that he came to know Franco �very well.� Radomski said that he sold Franco steroids on one occasion in 2000 after Franco called him to place the order. This call occurred, according to Radomski, after Radomski ran into Franco at an event. Franco agreed to an interview by telephone with my investigative staff. During that interview, Franco denied ever purchasing or using any performance enhancing substance. Franco also denied that he ever met, knew, or talked with Radomski, asserting that he had never even heard of Radomski before the publicity over Radomski�s guilty plea.

Listening to Mitchell on FAN he has reccomended amnesty for the players named in his report.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Clemens took the most powerful steroid available. Yeow

="George Mitchell"]Mo Vaughn Mo Vaughn played as an infielder and designated hitter with three teams in Major League Baseball between 1991 and 2003, the Boston Red Sox (8 seasons), Anaheim Angels (2 seasons), and New York Mets (2 seasons). While with the Red Sox in 1995, he was voted the American League Most Valuable Player. He played in three All-Star games. Radomski said that Glenallen Hill referred Vaughn to him. A former major league player has confirmed that Hill and Vaughn had a conversation in early 2001 in which Radomski�s name was mentioned. Radomski recalled that Vaughn had an ankle injury and called him for advice.401 Radomski told Vaughn that human growth hormone would help his ankle heal faster. Radomski said that thereafter he sold human growth hormone to Vaughn. Radomski also provided Vaughn with a program for the use of the human growth hormone. Radomski said that he delivered the substances to Vaughn personally. Radomski produced three checks deposited into Radomski�s accounts and drawn on Vaughn�s checking account: two checks for $3,200 each, and one check for $2,200. All of the checks are included in the Appendix. One is shown below. Radomski said that the two checks in the amount of $3,200 were each for two kits of human growth hormone. He stated that the check in the amount of $2,200 might have been for one-and-a-half kits of human growth hormone. Radomski said that he did not sell Vaughn steroids because Vaughn was "afraid of the big needles." Radomski could not explain why Vaughn was buying human growth hormone twice within an eighteen-day span (two of the checks are dated June 1 and June 19, 2001, respectively), but he thought that Vaughn either left his performance enhancing substances behind when he traveled or allowed the earlier shipment to spoil. Radomski also said that on many occasions he received payments well after supplying the drugs. Vaughn�s name, with an address and telephone number, is listed in the address book seized from Radomski�s residence by federal agents. In order to provide Vaughn with information about these allegations and to give him an opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me; he never agreed to an interview.

paul loduca is on HGH, according to that pdf. mike stanton is getting stuff delivered to shea in 2003.

Mitchell:

- Only the comiish office can choose to discipline, but I urge him to forego discipline for those on this list unless he feels that a specific case was so severe as to affect the integrity of the game ... most of the offenses were several years ago (2 - 9) and almost half of those named are no longer active.

- Going forward the testing program needs to be run by an outside agency, needs to include more year-round testing, needs to be more "transparent" to the public (data released, specifics included, etc)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Funny juxtaposition.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Glenallen Hill has the most attractive checks in MLB as far as I can tell.

[seawolf17]

I'm having a lot of fun reading through this report, just clicking through the names. Disappointed about Chris Donnels.

I have ALWAYS hated Stanton!

="George Mitchell"]Todd Pratt Todd Pratt played as a catcher from 1992 to 2006 for four teams in Major League Baseball, the Philadelphia Phillies (8 seasons), Chicago Cubs (1 season), New York Mets (5 seasons), and Atlanta Braves (1 season). Radomski became acquainted with Pratt after he joined the Mets in 1997. According to Radomski, Pratt informed him that he had previously bought Deca-Durabolin from another source. Sometime in 2000 or 2001, while he was still with the Mets, Pratt asked to buy anabolic steroids. Radomski made one or two sales of small amounts of steroids to Pratt. Radomski also recalled having a few discussions with Pratt regarding their use. In order to provide Pratt with information about these allegations and to give him an opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me. He did not respond to my request.

[Guest Edgy DC]

A compromise for Mitchell would be to give him his amnesty but in exchange put a strike against the named guys' records (unless he appeals), so his next offense is a second one.

[Guest martin]

loduca is like a hgh fiend, helping gagne get the stuff.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wow. Paulie gets a lot of ink in that thing.

Not as much as Clemens, though. Yikes.

Very sad to see all the info about Hundley. But not surprised.

[seawolf17]

Yeah, no reason to be surprised about most of these names, including Nails and Hundley.

[Frayed Knot]

Mitchell summing up: 'Follow my recommendations Bitches!!!'

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fascinating where the Dodgers discuss trading LoDuca would inspire him to get back on the juice because he's a competitive guy.

Wow on Gagne:

]The scout, Mark Delpiano, responded, Some digging on Gagne and steroids IS the issue. Has had a checkered medical past throughout career including minor leagues. Lacks the poise and commitment to stay healthy, maintain body and re invent self. What made him a tenacious closer was the max effort plus stuff . . . Mentality without the plus weapons and without steroid help probably creates a large risk in bounce back durability and ability to throw average while allowing the changeup to play as it once did . . . Personally, durability (or lack of) will follow Gagne . . .426 In order to provide Gagn� with information about these allegations and to give him an opportunity to respond, I asked him to meet with me; he declined.

[Valadius]

It's no surprise that Donnelly and Logan were cut loose now that this has come out.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I don't think I'll ever get used to (or at least not appreciate) that I can
get things like a four hundred page report about something I'm interested
in downloaded to my laptop in like four seconds as the news is breaking.

[Valadius]

Tejada got his drugs from Adam Piatt, who got them from Radomski.

[Valadius]

Mo Vaughn was using at least in 2001.

[nymr83]

Clemens is the name i was most hoping to see on this list. Pettite was a nice bonus as well. the inclusion of Chipper Jones or Derek Jeter would have been nice, but i'll take what we got

[nymr83]

productivity among baseball fans may have hit a new low today.

[bmfc1]

Hitting refresh on this thread reminded me of an IGT.

[Valadius]

Gagne had stuff delivered to Dodger Stadium in 2004.

[nymr83]

Will the Mitchell Report surpass the Hilton sex video in number of downloads?

[Gwreck]

The geniuses preparing the report take great pains to redact Radomski's address, but leave his phone number right there for anyone to have?
