Mets second base prospect L.J. Mazzilli has been suspended 50 games for a second positive test for a drug of abuse

Let's hope this is the wake-up call LJ needs to move on and clean up his act. Baseball careers come and go...sobriety can last a lifetime!

Read somewhere that he suffers from ADD. Let's hope this is simply a case of him forgetting to file the paperwork for his Adderall (à la Chris Davis).

It says he's getting professional help, so it's not Adderall.

Doesn't sound like performance enhancing type stuff but instead potential partying type material instead. Hope he gets it back on the straight and narrow he looks like he's got a shot!

He's an intriguing prospect but the Mets have a plethora of 2nd base prospects in the pipeline ahead of him. I do hope he cleans up his act though, he has talent and if he ever does manage to make it to the majors with the Mets that would make 3/25 of their roster Connecticut natives.

Too funny to see that name. Never knew he was that decent at baseball. Lived on the fourth floor of the NATHAN HALE INN next to him Junior year.

Definitely smoked a lot of pot. We all did.

Didn't his dad get in trouble for cocaine when he was in the big leagues? Then again, pretty much the entire Pittsburgh Pirates roster did, even the mascot.

I'm sure his time on the Mets didn't help that either...

In his second at-bat of the season L.J. Mazzilli blasts a line drive two-run HR to center. 2-0 Mets after 3!

Good for Mazz. If he hits like he did last year in A+ he should be in AA relatively soon.
