Geoff Morrow of the Patriot News has the story …
Edgardo Baez and Ofilio Castro, both members of the Harrisburg Senators, have been suspended 50 games each under baseball’s minor league drug policy after testing positive for amphetamines. Baez, 24, an outfielder, and Castro, 26, an infielder, began their suspensions Thursday and are no longer with the team. Harrisburg closes a six-game homestand Thursday night against Binghamton.
No immediate word on their replacements with the Senators

OOF! That finishes the year for the both of them, and might damage their chances as possible RuleV players for 2010. Like HAR isn’t having a hard enough time as it is.

Does this explain Ward and Hopper or is that too much of a demotion?
