I got a heads up from Ben Badler at Baseball America about his interview with Jordan Schafer. It's a good interview, very comprehensive, and there are some interesting tidbits in there. Badler pushes Schafer on the issue of his HGH suspension, illiciting this response:

People can write what they want. I see people write I got suspended for use. If you've got some kind of proof that I used stuff, I mean, someone please come show me. You can say allegedly or whatever you want. Truthfully, it's so much over, I'd rather just put it in the past and just move on...

Yeah, it's pretty much BS. There's not much else to say. I'd rather just put it in the past and try to move on.

Schafer gets comes off as a bit defensive in parts of the interview, especially when he's first asked to talk about the suspension:

If you ask anybody in the organization, ask the people that have been around me, they know how hard I work. They know my workouts in the offseason. (Former Braves and current Rangers shortstop) Elvis Andrus, he's my best friend, he came and stayed with me in the offseason. (Myrtle Beach shortstop) Brandon Hicks came and stayed with me in the offseason, worked out with me, and our workouts are like 10 hours a day. Nobody matches those workouts. You can go anywhere. I mean, people work out for two hours a day and they think that's a hard workout. It's more than just going to the field—there's so many different aspects that you have to improve on. If people want to know how I get better, if you want to come out in the offseason and watch me do my workouts, I'm more than happy—come out and watch me. Come out for a week, watch the whole a week. Anybody that wants to come out and watch, come out and watch, I have no problem with it, if they really want to know how I've gotten so much better.

Well, he comes off rambling a bit more than he should.
