[Pushfrog98]

Apparently Fausto Carmona has been using an assumed name...

and is 31, not 28.

I knew that name was too awesome to be true

[Little Slide Rooter]

He's actually Steven Rosenberg of Newark.

Leon Kompowski of Paterson

So that's what happened to Roberto Hernandez.

In related news, a 22 year old star 2nd Baseman Mickey "Babe" Gehrig-Cobb of the Nippon Ham Fighters has been using an assumed name. It was revealed that the star import was actually 37 year old Bobby Scales. They are currently in the process of gathering further information.

Leo Nunez for Fausto Carmona: The first PTBNL for PTBNL deal in history!

Indians are worried that he won't be granted a visa now for the 2012 season

 

And Roberto Hernandez Heredia sounds more made up than Fausto Carmona

Lie about your age... whatever, I don't care.

 

Make me need to learn a new name? I hate you and you are all that's wrong with this sport.

Wait, they're worried that their crap pitcher might not be allowed to suck again for them in 2012? I'm sure they can't wait for Carmona's visa issues to be resolved so he can unleash his next 75 ERA+ season on the citizens of Cleveland.

it's not like they have a ton of depth. a half-way decent first half from a guy people thought was 28 could have at least netted them a prospect at the deadline

Only in this case, it only involved one guy frantically swimming for land. Sorry.

this is possibly the least funny joke you have ever made.

During an appearance on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" on Friday, Pedro Gomez reported that Fausto Carmona was outed several weeks ago on a popular radio show in Santo Domingo by the mother of the real Fausto Carmona.

 

Too many Armin Tanzarian references going through my head to pick just one.
