This year Jose has a new book set to be released called Vindicated, which I guess is supposed to be a big F.U. to everyone who doubted his word. Oh, and he names some more names. Unless, of course, you can come up with enough scratch to keep your name out of the book. At least that’s what Magglio Ordóñez says.

José Canseco, the former major league slugger and admitted steroid user who exposed other players in his 2005 best-selling book “Juiced,” offered to keep a Detroit Tigers outfielder “clear” in his next book if the player invested money in a film project Canseco was promoting, according to a person in baseball with knowledge of the situation.

Four people in baseball confirmed that referrals were made from Major League Baseball to the F.B.I. regarding Canseco’s actions relating to the six-time All-Star outfielder Magglio Ordóñez, who was not mentioned in Canseco’s earlier book or in any other report on performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. All four insisted on anonymity because they said they didn’t have authority to speak about the events.

Mark McGuire must be pissed he wasn’t made the same offer three years ago. I bet he would have paid.

What’d all that speed do for Neifi? Apparently not much, as he’s batting .172 with a home run and six RBIs.

So for all you kids reading along at home, don’t do drugs. Especially speed. And don’t be a dumbass and do speed while currently serving a suspension for doing speed. If you’re going to do drugs to boost your stats, do it like Barry did and at least pick good drugs.
