Ryan Braun's Fate to Be Known By Friday

MILWAUKEE, WI (WHBL) - A three-person panel is expected to make its decision on MIlwaukee Brewer outfielder Ryan Braun’s possible 50-game suspension some time before Brewers position players report for spring training next Friday.  Of course, that panel was expected to release its final work on Braun’s status after 25 days, but it didn't.  That would have been last Tuesday.  Brewers pitchers and catchers are reporting today in Maryvale, Arizona.  They'll take their physicals tomorrow and have their first workout on Monday.  Even if Braun is suspended, he will be allowed to take part in spring training, then sit down for the first 50 games of the season.  If his appeal is allowed and the suspension not enforced, the Milwaukee outfielder would become the first player to prevail in the appeal process.
