Whistleblower Joining MLBPA Staff

The Major League Baseball Players' Association today announced that former big-league pitchers Rick Helling and Mike Myers are joining the union staff as special assistants to the Executive Director.

On the face of it, not surprising. Helling and Myers were active in the union in their playing days, both serving on the executive board.

Daily Jolt: Major League Baseball Should Listen to Ozzie Guillen, Big Papi

The Daily Jolt is a dose of baseball reality every weekday morning.

Most of the time you can ignore Ozzie Guillen. Do so at your own peril, of course. When he's not testing the boundaries of decency or making you do earmuffs like Vince Vaughn's kid in Old School, he's wildly entertaining.

The White Sox skipper told reporters over the weekend that he'd like to see Major League Baseball adopt stiffer punishments for players who test positive for performance-enhancing drugs the first time.
