    MINORS FINAL 8/12: Braves' 20-year-olds awesome; but two suspended

    It's a good question what kind of impact the Braves' array of 20-year-old (and under!) players is going to have down the road. But consider the class.

    But then again...
    The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced Wednesday that two Braves Minor Leaguers have been suspended 72 games apiece after testing positive for banned steroids. Right-handers Victor Joaquin and Alvaro Silvestre received 72-game suspensions without pay. Joaquin tested positive for nandrolone, while Silvestre was flagged for using boldenone.

    Joaquin and Silvestre, both 20, were on the roster of the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League Braves. Joaquin was 3-4 with a 3.89 ERA in nine games (six starts), while Silvestre was 3-0 with a 7.65 ERA in 12 relief appearances. The suspensions of both players, which represent the first for performance-enhancing substances under the new Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, are effective immediately.

    Nandrolone, commonly sold as Deca-Durabolin, is a drug used to promote muscle growth, bone density and red blood cell production. Boldenone, more commonly known and marketed as Equipoise, is an anabolic steroid developed for veterinary use, primarily to treat horses. Side effects include increased muscle growth, red blood cell counts and appetite. Major League Baseball has suspended 40 players this year for violations of the Minor League drug program.
    --------------
    Peraza Named Southern League Player of the Month: Jose Peraza of the Mississippi Braves led the Southern League in batting average (.359). The second baseman topped the league with his 37 hits. Peraza also proved his speed on the bases with his league-leading 16 stolen bases.
