A. J. Pierzynski has called rumors hinting he would be named having used performance enhancing drugs "completely baseless."

"Apparently, certain people in the media -- they know who they are, I don't have to mention them by name -- they just go ahead and run stories and talk about stories on their air without getting sources," Pierzynski said. "It's a shame because people that don't do anything, haven't done anything, can be targeted and you can say whatever you want on the Internet.

"But that's the life we live and the world we live in and unfortunately it's happened to other people and this time it happened to be on me. It's over with now and hopefully people find something better we can talk about the White Sox instead of something that is completely baseless."
