Atlanta Braves top prospect Jordan Schafer is bad at learning by example.The promising 21-year-old outfielder was suspended 50 games (starting Tuesday) for violating the clearly-stated minor-league drug policy. That is to say, he used HGH when he knew it was against the rules.
Schafer was batting .091 over four games for Class AA Mississippi this season after hitting .316 with four doubles and six RBIs with a .421 on-base percentage during Grapefruit League action this Spring.
"We are extremely disappointed that Jordan has violated the Commissioner's Performance Enhancing Drug Policy," said Braves general manager Frank Wren.He went on to say that Jordan asked to speak with his teammates to apologize for his stupidity.

Another one bites the dust. When will these kids learn?
Well, he certainly doesn't look too smart.
.091? Dare I say he might not have gotten his money's worth?
It's amazing the pressure these guys must still feel to get ahead by cheating...taking the risk and basically being blackballed if you're caught...but, that's human nature and that will never change.
