    Giants Mota suspended 100 games

    MLB suspended Guillermo Mota for 100 games after a second positive test for a performance-enhancing drug.
    Mota, who has a 5.06 ERA and 9/4 K/BB ratio in 10 2/3 innings this seson, tested positive for Clenbuterol. The veteran right-hander previously tested positive for PED use back in 2006 as a member of the Mets and served a 50-game suspension to begin the 2007 season. He'll be eligible to rejoin the Giants down the stretch.
    This season just keeps getting better. No word on the replacement but Hacker could be the guy since he is a long reliever type. Heath Hembree could also be a guy as he is just crushing it at AAA. It's not a big blow but with an already thin bullpen, this does sting.

    Maybe you'll jump in the Mike Gonzalez sweepstakes as well...I figure Hacker is the obvious replacement, but Surkamp could be, if he's healthy.

    I think Surkamp is best served staying as a starter in AAA but he's hurt so it doesn't matter.

    I like the idea of Heath Hembree. Some think he will be the closer of the future and if this is the case let him get some MLB experience and see what he can do.
