Atlanta Braves top rated prospect Jordan Schafer has been slapped with a 50-game suspension for using Human Growth Hormone. The Braves released the following statement:"We are extremely disappointed that Jordan has violated the Commissioner’s Performance Enhancing Drug Policy," Braves general manager Frank Wren said in the statement. "We are supportive of the program and will continue to educate all of our players. Earlier today Jordan asked to speak to his teammates to apologize for the mistakes he has made and for letting the organization and his team down. During his suspension, we will continue to support and counsel Jordan."After having a mediocre 2006, Schafer shot up the Braves depth charts last season. Whether or not HGH helped, remains to be seen.
