The Los Angeles Dodgers Manny Ramirez was recently suspended for 50 games after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs. Eligible to return to the team July 3rd, Ramirez is first going to spend a week playing for the Dodgers Single A affiliate in San Bernadino. (Go Inland Empire 66'ers!)

That Ramirez is allowed to play in the minor leagues at the same time he's serving a suspension in the majors is due to an imbalance in representation. The majors have unions and such that the minors do not, therefore what goes in Durham and Reno doesn't necessarily go in New York or Chicago. It's all very complicated and there's no time to explain it all (Why? Because we're not entirely sure of the explanation ourselves) but the fact remains: Manny's Minor League Tour gave us an idea. If you could only pick one Milwaukee Brewer to pee dirty and earn a first-class ticket to Nashville, who would it be?
Last year I think the choice would have been obvious. Given the way he was pitching down the stretch, C.C. Sabathia could have set this city on fire. But now that the Round Mound of...the Mound is living high on the hog in pinstripes, it becomes a two-man race.
So Sounds fans, who would you rather have (back) in Nashville? Ryan Braun or Prince Fielder?
I'm not going to reveal my answer. But I will give a hint: It'd be great to have another vegetarian in town.
