Carmona’s real name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia

False ID?
Who knew?...he's Mescan.

Why? One doesn’t use a false identity for no reason. Probably got a record, or is wanted.

Maybe he’s a Manchurian Candidate-kinda player...sent from North Korea into the Caribbean...sneaking into the US to spy on major league baseball? Heck, he might even be from Turkmenistan.

This is, or was, pretty widespread down in the DR. Players would get falsified credentials to make them appear years younger because a kid with a certain skill-set at 15 or 16 is a lot more attractive to US scouts than a young man at 19 or 20.

Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll get our politicians from down there?

It sounds like he has been playing his whole career under the false identity.

Perhaps he faked being 17 to keep playing in the teenage Dominican leagues, so he would be scouted.

And as he had amazing maturity, power, and control for a 17 year old he got the scouting attention he wanted.

He can always switch to football and play in the National Felons League.

Hey, as a lifetime Cleveland Indians fan, it's no big deal. The Tribe can just call up their two top pitching prospects, Alex White or Drew Pomerantz from the minors to replace him.

Oops, I forgot. The Indians traded them both last year for another south-of-the-border headcase, Ubaldo Jimenez. Never mind.

I lost interest in the Indians when they traded Rocky!
