    Another Assumed name

    Per MLBTR:

    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.
    If they are doing more investigating, you have to wonder how many others....

      The Indians picking up Carmona's $7 Mil option already looked like a joke. Looks even worse when you find out he's 31 years old.
      Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

        It seems if the Indians could void the deal if the other party was lying with a fake name and age.

          Per Rotoworld:
          Appearing on Outside the Lines, ESPN's Pedro Gomez reports that Fausto Carmona was outed several weeks ago on a popular radio show in Santo Domingo by the mother of the real Fausto Carmona.
          According to the report, Carmona (aka Roberto Hernandez Heredia) had been paying the family of the real Carmona for the use of his identification and refused to increase payments after the Indians picked up his $7 million club option. The U.S. government subsequently began an investigation following the interview and arrested Heredia when he went to apply for his work visa earlier this week. The Indians have refused comment on the situation, saying only that they are in the process of "still gathering information." On Friday, the club acquired Kevin Slowey from the Rockies as insurance for their starting rotatio

            IF he had been traded to another team in the offseason, would he be now known as the Player to Be named Later?

              Probably not. He has enough names already. And I'm sure Indians fans have some additional, colorful names for him right now.
