Title: Dear Astros: Please don’t acquire domestic abusers
Post by: Reuben on July 30, 2018, 09:49:41 am

I don’t care how good Roberto Osuna or any other player who abuses women or family members is; I don’t want to see them in an Astros uniform.

(Just in case you were even mildly considering it).

I think that character should play a role in trade evaluation, but it shouldn't be a litmus test. I believe in second chances.

I opposed the Brett Myers deal for the same reason.

I believe in redemption and second chances. Each case and decision should turn on a thorough investigation which includes not only the facts surrounding the incident but also the player’s actions and conduct after. No absolute rule based solely on criminal history; case by case decision not related to baseball.

Shawn Chacon was a workplace abuser.

Agree totally with this.

Luhnow’s said as much. In the future, teens with 92 mph fastballs will be evaluated to see if they’re “woke” at a tender age
