  • I think MLB and the courts' rulings are good enough for me, without taking an extra step of us placing guys on restricted lists. If folks want to chime in support of your proposal, then that's fine. I also could argue that a player who gets a DUI is a threat to society because that player could have killed someone. Should we also restrict that player?

  • I'd be perfectly OK with Chapman being on a restricted list. The Vazquez story is just so pernicious that it really made me think about things, including Chapman. It can be as simple as "If Player A is suspended by MLB for domestic abuse or sexual assault said player is ineligible for this league". It's a very clear line and not a very ambiguous one. This would then include Chapman, Osuna and Vazquez and perhaps others that I've forgotten about.

  • It's a slope. It's not much of a leap to say, "We put player X on a restricted list, so why shouldn't we put players Y and Z on a restricted list, because they are also bad people?" For you, having sex with a underaged teenager should put a player on a restricted list, but firing a weapon into a wall and threatening a woman's life is not? Again, I think morons like Vazquez will put themselves out of work. If you don't like the player as a human, don't roster him (as I have).

  • There's no parallel between Bonds/Clemens and Vazquez/Osuna or even Chapman and no slope, no matter how slippery, gets you there. You make a very fair point about Chapman and I honestly don't have a good answer. To be brutally honest, it wasn't top of mind for me. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Vazquez is back on a major league roster within a few years, if not sooner. The list of pro players who have come back from serious allegations is a long one.

  • I agree with the Geese. Bad people often put themselves out of jobs when they do bad things.

  • I just remembered that you have Aroldis Chapman on your roster. You traded for him this season.

    A Little Out of Context ✏️ on September 17, 2019 6:39 PM

  • If all this is true, and it seems highly highly likely that it is, Vazquez will have a very difficult time playing baseball from his jail cell. At that point, I suspect removing him is a given.

    Göttingen Gaussian Geese 🐦 on September 17, 2019 6:34 PM

  • I appreciate your feelings on the matter, though I think it winds up being a slippery slope. If we include horrible people like Vazquez, we're opening things up later for Barry Bonds/Roger Clemens debates. What do we do with Aroldis Chapman, who wasn't arrested or charged? Allegedly terrible people, like Vazquez, will put themselves out of work on their own. I don't roster one particular player because he said racist crap to me in an interview. If you don't want a player, don't roster him.

    A Little Out of Context ✏️ on September 17, 2019 6:32 PM

  • Something like that. Obviously would depend on each case. I'm not one to rush to judgement, but I'd be much happier if we simply removed Felipe Vazquez from our game.

    Team To Be Named Later 🇨🇦 on September 17, 2019 6:03 PM

  • What do you mean by that? As in we shouldn't be able to roster players because of incidents?
