AN INTERSTING POINT

Rick Sutcliff of ESPN recently made an interesting point about Melky Cabrera and the fact that he broke the Major League rules on steroids and drugs, and that is: Why is he still here?

Cabrera is in the United States form the Dominican Republic on a worker’s visa. That means as long as he has a job and upholds the law he can stay in the USA, and now he is on a 50 game suspension and has also broken the law.

If this was a below the minimum wage worker from the Dominican Republic and he was out of work living her on a worker’s visa, he would be out of here so fast his head would spin! Why is Cabrera allowed to stay?

This seems to be the problem once again that I whine about continuously about fat contracts and the business end of baseball. No one in the Majors wants to punishment enough to make it worthwhile, so the guy gets away with what he’s done.  %0 days lost wages at his salary level will not cause a little Cabrera to go to bed hungry, so there are no real consequences for his actions except some time off.

Let’s keep the sport clean, toss out of the country those who break our laws and those who are citizens, toss from the rolls of baseball, once and for all times. Maybe they will all get a better idea with what it means to play by the rules, and not cheat. Maybe if their cow dries up they can be a shining example to other would-be cheaters as to what happens when they are caught cheaing.

That’s all I wrote, folks!
