[edit] Biography

Born on August 21, 1973 in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas (Mexico), Ismael Valdez (Ismael (Alvarez) Valdez) played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, Anaheim Angels, Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres and Florida Marlins over the course of his 12 year career. Valdez broke into the bigs on June 15, 1994 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and put up a 3.05 ERA in 197.2 innings pitched in 1995, his rookie year.

Most people believe that Ismael Valdez's best season was 1996, when he posted a 3.32 ERA, won 15 games and struck out 173 batters.

[edit] Mitchell Report

Ismael Valdez was named in the Mitchell Report -- According to [the San Francisco Chronicle], on September 7, 2002, while he was playing with the Mariners, Valdez "used a credit to card to buy nearly $2,500 worth of human growth hormone," which was shipped to him at the Texas Rangers ballpark in Arlington, Texas where Valdez had been playing until he was traded to the Mariners the prior month. Ten days later, Valdez reportedly purchased Novarel, clomiphene, and Arimidex from the center, all of which are used to counteract the effects of steroid abuse.502 The article reported that "Valdez's prescriptions were written by the same dentist who prescribed drugs to [Paul] Byrd, [Jose] Guillen and [retired infielder Matt] Williams."
