"It's safe to assume I prefer knowing things ahead of time to not knowing things ahead of time. I don't want to speculate on what any team might have done had they had different knowledge or not...We knew nothing of the names that would be included. I will not speculate on what might have happened on anyone on our team, other than to say, 'I'm disappointed when I see any name on the list that was associated with the Nats'."

Stan on Steroids, HGH: Kasten breaks Nats' silence on Mitchell Report, but doesn't (or can't) really say much.
Stan says team got blindsided by Lo Duca being named.
Would love to know if Lo Duca's alleged past as a drug dealer (not just being named in the report) was a total surprise to the team, or if there were whispers out there like the ones the Red Sox investigated surrounding Eric Gagne? Did someone just not do their homework?
