ESPN new stat: Negative Runs

Apparently, Buster Olney, the proponent of the productive out, is pushing a new stat: negative runs. Here's his explaination:

After my conversation with GM Kevin Towers for ESPN the Magazine, I have decided that while the newly implement steroid abuse policy is a step in the right direction, there just isn't enough impact for the cheating player's team in the present. A 10 day suspension only affects future games that the cheating player would miss. So I give to you negative runs...

So it looks like three teams/players have already been disciplined.



When will it stop Buster?
