Fausto Carmona of the Cleveland Indians gets busted
28-year old righty starting pitcher Fausto Carmona is really 31-year old righty starting pitcher Roberto Hernandez Heredia. This was discovered when he tried to apply for his new work visa for 2012. This could cause Heredia to miss most, if not all, of the 2012 season for the Tribe. Heredia pitched in 32 games (all starts) for the Indians last year and he was 7-15 with a 5.25 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. He has now pitched in 181 games (150 starts) in his first six years with the Indians and he was 53-66 with a 4.59 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP. This is not such a big loss as it would seem for the Tribe, as Heredia has been very, very inconsistent. He should have kept paying the real Fausto Carmona, but he must not be that smart.
