PEABODY, Mass. -- the Florida Marlins' top 2003 draft pick, Jeff Allison, spent three days last week in a hospital because of a heroin overdose, according to police.
Allison was hospitalized after he and a friend split a bag of heroin on July 17, Lynn police Lt. John Scannell told The Salem News.
He's had PLENTY of problems, and hasn't pitched in a while. He looks like a lost cause right now in terms of a player. He should be focused on getting better.
It's interesting, because on the Marlins' message board, there was somebody posting right after he was drafted mentioning that he had a drug problem, and everybody pretty much dismissed him. You'd think if this guy knew, the Marlins brass should've known and passed on him.
This guy us awesome! He could hit 60 HRs this year and he's how old? 25? Philly is paying him a measly $355,00 this year. Obviously, in only his second year a lot can happen to him during his career.
