28 year old Indians pitcher Fausto Carmona is neither 28 nor named Fausto Carmona
He was arrested today for using a false identity to obtain a visa. His real name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia, and he is 31.

This is hilarious.
I just read Michal AJM’s headline. Her comment:
“The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. Discuss.”
(She also feels like Voltaire got a raw deal from SNL.)

The Indians 4 years ago or so had to think they were doing pretty well with CC, Lee, and Fausto…

So true.

Ugh
The Dominican isn’t, say, Cuba. You don’t need to use any means necessary to leave the DR like you do there. But even in Cuba they lie about their ages all the time, and not just to escape. There is no age qualification to entire the U.S. The only prerequisite in that category is to be alive. These people camouflage their identity not to leave but to maximize the reward of leaving – to fool teams into thinking they’re worth more to them as, say, Fausto Carmona, 28, than Roberto Heredia, 31.
The Indians have given him $15 million so far for a lie. Either we agree to live by certain rules or we don’t.

There are poorer countries than the Dominican Republic, but it's still very poor.
And if you’re poor and living there, you can’t just pack your bags and move to the United States. It’s extremely difficult for a poor person to immigrate to this country legally. What he did wasn’t right but I’m not going to sit here on my 1st world high horse and give this guy hell.

Taking the little one to th zoo did not.result into a Feilder signing, but instead in an Indian going to jail…

Well
Vladimir Guerrero, maybe he’s really 3 years older than he says too.
He got busted several years ago
He ended up being a year or two older than was originally reported.

Craig Gentry's going to break some sort of DRS record this year...

Jeff Wilson just posted the yearly breakdown of Yu's salary.
2012: $5.5 million
2013: $9.5 million
2014: $10 million
2015: $10 million
2016: $10 million
2017: $11 million
If he opts out, the contract would have paid him $45 million for 5 years without roster bonuses.

Right which
would make it a 5/96 mil investment but arent there still incentives (or are you referring to those as roster bonuses?) to factor in? Im thinking that if he earn the right to opt out that he probably will have met those performance incentives as well.

$10 million in incentives.

So...
…if Hamilton remains stubborn but can show the league he’s healthy during spring training, do the Rangers go ahead and sign Fielder and then trade Hamilton and maybe Olt for a young outfielder before the season starts?
by Black Francis on Jan 20, 2012 12:15 AM CST up reply actions
No, I didn't say that.
Sign Fielder whenever he and the Rangers can make a deal. Then once Hamilton has shown everyone that he’s healthy during Spring Training, make a trade. Hamilton should have value. Olt definitely has value but there’s no spot for him if Beltre and Fielder are holding down the corners. I think you could get a great young outfielder for those two, though I admittedly have no idea specifically who that would be.

Roberto Hernandez Heredia
Roberto Hernandez + Gil Heredia? Is this even his real name?

Didn't we have a Cleveland blogger on here for awhile?
He seemed to think the Indians had a chance to compete this year.

With a name like Fausto Carmona... I felt like he had a chance to turn it around again and be a really good pitcher.
I don’t feel that way with a Roberto Heredia. What a boring name.
