The main rule I would change for getting caught with performance enhancing drugs is that a team has the option of VOIDING the players contract if he's caught, or, at the very least, limiting both it's duration and monetary amount by half.
Currently the player might get suspended and lose money for awhile, but I figure the team that signed him was actually paying him for "enhanced performance". Something he's no longer allowed to have, so he should no longer get the money he was supposed to have.
IF baseball is serious about eliminating the enhancement problem, this would be a better place to start.
Santana now has a ERA of 5.66, having surrendered 30 earned runs in just 47 innings. Much like Nolasco, he has become a major waste of big money in a very short amount of time. And the deal runs for several more seasons.
His horrible performance yesterday cost the Twins a sweep of Texas. It's more than just money he's wasting.
