    Within reason. If it's a Yunel Escobar, Jeff Kent, Roger Clemens, Bret Myers level problem, I could see it being a factor. I wouldn't put Donaldson at that level.

    Bret Myers is a wife-beater; not sure it’s fair to lump those others into a taxon with him.
    "For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."

    And Clemens is a statutory rapist (whose victim eventually killed herself). I did want to include a couple of truly awfuls plus a couple of lesser problem children who are/were legitimate problems.

    Didn’t know that about Clemens—so he can fairly be lumped with Myers, certainly.

    Many people don't realize that Mindy McCready was 15 when their 10-year affair started.

    I didn't remember the kid's name, but I sure remembered that she was 15 and he was nearly 40. He's pretty much the one and only modern HoF-calibre guy I'd refuse to vote for on character grounds if I had a vote.

    Somewhat similarly, I'll never forget that not only did Myers beat his wife, he did so in a neighbor lady's house because he'd had a bad start that day, then literally drug her across the street by the hair caveman style home to whale on her some more.

    Someone like that should be put down.
