Hector Olivera Arrested

I know I am being extremely prejudiced here, but I think these Cuban players are a huge risk and teams need to be leery of making huge (or should I say "yuge") investments in them. They've existed in a somewhat protected environment and then they uproot and have to get used to a vastly different culture where they aren't automatically on a national pedestal.
 
We just gotta hope that Bird and the draft pick are worth it (I doubt Paco Rodriguez ever pitches much for us).
 
Let's wait for the facts to come out first.

Agreed that we should wait for all the facts. But without a doubt to save face as an organization, they should immediately suspend him, even if it's with pay, until the investigation is complete. MLB does have that new domestic violence policy in place, I wonder if that will apply here. Chapman got 30 games?

If it turns out Hector beat this chick up, I hope MLB throws the book at him. Suspend him for a season without pay. That'll send a message.
