anyone else see that the braves top OF prospect, jordan schafer, has been suspended for HGH use?

i was tooling around baseball prospectus and noticed this little nugget in bp unfiltered:

bp wrote: how did he get caught? HGH is not detactable under the current testing structure, yet there it is. Stories are beginning to come out of an investigation of Schafer and other Braves teammates that led to a confession from Schafer, but it sounds like this could get ugly, if these early stories are true.

sounds like we're in for a fun season, no?

have there been any other banned-substance suspensions this season? i think this is the first.

An internal investigation by the Braves? , all sorts of things could come from this.

Jordan Schafer so sounds like a name for a top Braves prospect.

so does Ryan Church, come to think of it.
