Can I Get Someone To Testify?

Subpoena is the word of the day as witnesses are being called to testify in cases/investigations against Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.

Former big league catcher Bobby Estellela is expected to implicate Bonds when he takes the stand in Bonds' perjury trial in March. Mark Fainaru-Wada (who villified Bonds in "Game of Shadows") and T.J. Quinn have reported for ESPN that Estellela admitted to using the "clear" and "cream" provided by Greg Anderson, in BALCO testimony leaked backed in 2001. Estellela, who was also mentioned in the Mitchell report, was Bonds' teammate in San Francisco in 2000-2001 (and ironically had a short stint with Clemens and the Yankees in the latter part of '01).

Jason and Jeremy Giambi are also expected to be called to the stand.


The Clemens case continues as well with former Yankee and Met pitcher (and local product), C.J. Nitkowski being questioned. Nitkowski wasn't a teammate of Clemens, but did train with the Rocket and Andy Pettitte under the auspices of Brian McNamee.
