paxton crawford, after 10 seasons of minor league ball (only 15 games in the mlb with the red sox), called it quits and is now working at the family farm in arkansas.
crawford has recently admitted to using steroids in the minors prior to his promotion to the sox in 2001, and used HGH during his brief mlb stay. crawford was nothing better than average, finally realizing that life in the independent league and AA-ball wasn't his, errr, beef. good luck on the family farm, crawford. your 15 games with the sox will never be forgotten. (ahhhh, who is paxton crawford?)

With the latest Grimsley revelation, and now Paxton, just goes to show that steriods, HGH, and other performance enhancements aren't just reserved for the baseball elite.
I'm sure there are hundreds of guys like Paxton in ball today who are fringe major leaguers or career minor leaguers who will use any advantage they can to get ahead. The punishment if you're caught isn't a slap on the wrist-- more like a butcher knife, but we're talking livelihoods here. We're talking dudes trying to keep their jobs. We're talking dudes still trying to keep the dream alive. With that as a motivation, they'll resort to any means necessary- even if it means a 50 game suspension or banishment from baseball.
In other words, even with the latest crackdown by MLB, there's still gonna be guys out there taking stuff and trying to mask what they're taking so it doesn't show up on a test.
