Biography[]

Jose Guillen (Jose Manuel Guillen) was born on May 17, 1976 in San Cristobal, San Cristobal (Dominican Republic). He made his Major League debut on April 1, 1997 for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1997, his rookie year, he hit .267 with 14 home runs and 70 RBI. Guillen played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Cincinnati Reds, Arizona Diamondbacks, Oakland Athletics, Anaheim Angels and Washington Nationals over the course of his 10 year career.

Most people believe that Jose Guillen's best season was 2004, when he slugged 27 home runs, hit for a .294 average and knocked in 104 runs.

Guillen was also one of the players named in baseball's Mitchell Report. His name appeared under the "Alleged Internet Purchases" section of the report. According to an article that the San Francisco Chronicle published on November 6, 2007, Guillen purchased HGH, testosterone, and other kinds of steroids in a three-year period from 2002 and 2004-2005.

Guillen met with officials from the Commissioner's Office to discuss the allegations levied against him. On December 6, 2007, the Commissioner's Office decided that Guillen would be suspended for 15 days based by non-analytical violations of the joint drug testing program. The Players Association has said that Guillen will appeal the suspension.
