08:16 AM ET 08.16 | Thanks to some history with the Manny Ramirez-led Dodgers and Ryan Braun-led Brewers, Arizona manager Kirk Gibson has a unique perspective on Melky Cabrera's suspension. "I can say that certainly the majority of people who are in this game care about the integrity of the game," [Gibson] said. ... "Obviously, there's not a big enough deterrent if it continues." Gibson doesn't know what the right answer is. He just believes it's something greater than the penalties tied to the game's current drug policy, which calls for a 50-game suspension for a first-time positive test. "I don't have an exact number," Gibson said. "I think it should be a minimum of a year (for a first positive) and after that it should just be banned."

Players have been living on the edge of the rules since baseball was invented. Pitchers like Gaylord Perry and others threw splitters and some use sand paper and other objects to get an advantage on hitters. Then some batters started putting cork in their bats to take advantage of the pitchers. Now we have the drugs and I believe right now people are working on something else to get an edge in America's game.
