Fausto Carmona?

[BSN07]

Police in the Dominican Republic say Fausto Carmona's real name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia, Enrique Rojas of ESPNDeportes tweets. Dionisio Soldevila of the AP tweets that Carmona is 31, not 28 and Jorge Arangure Jr. of ESPN.com tweets that the right-hander's chances of obtaining a visa quickly don't seem good. Yancen Pujols first tweeted news of the identity issues

I just don't understand the fake names. I know that they try to cover up their age, but they are still good enough to play baseball in the MLB, so why try to cover it up? It is stupid and the consequences aren't worth it. More than likely someone will find out.

They say they're younger because teams will work with the younger kids a lot more. Plus, they'd get a bigger bonus and longer contract

I am aware of that, it is just stupid. It is a three year difference. It isn't like it is a 10 year difference. This brings back memories of that Almonte kid that pitched in the Little League World Series a few years back.

 

He first signed in 2001 I believe. I think he would have been 20 or 21 when he first was started in the minors for the Guardians. He claimed he was 17 or 18. I know they like younger prospects, but it really isn't that much of a difference. I think a team would have taken a chance on him still. It is stupid because now he has to deal with the unknown of what is going to happen with his future.
