Tonight all of Springfield waits with baited breath to see the outcome of the hottest scandal to rock Springfield since "lefty gate". The controversy surrounds accusations that GM Doug Sherlag used falsified birth certificates to bring in a veteran retired pitcher under an assumed name. Embattled GM Doug Sherlag insists that Fausto Carmona in really not 46 year old pitcher Roberto Hernandez. This despite Carmona/Hernandez' recent arrest in the Dominican Republic. A visibly shaken Sherlag stated "there must be some mistake" when confronted with the phony birth certificate. The future of his recycled pitcher, who was released on $13,000 bail, is unclear though some General Managers report that Springfield was shopping the hurler as of two weeks ago. One must question if they were trying to move the old vet before his true age came out. The perennial contender Isotopes were stunned by Outlaw and GM Sherlag has been on the hot seat after the surprising early exit in the 2011 playoffs.

Rumors quickly circulated in Outlaw that the true identity of the pitcher formerly known as Fausto Carmona is . . .
hold on to your hats . . .
Omar Vizquel!
It is Ken Anderson that has some explaining to do. You have to wonder how much information Troy had on Fausto's identity before delaing him to poor Johnny Miller and the Roadkill for a 2nd and 8th round pick. The Topes are victims in this and believe that they should receive a compensatory 2nd round pick in this year's draft as a result of this travesty!
