Former MLB first round pick arrested for murder.

Pretty sad. My son played with this kid. We always knew he seemed troubled but never thought this would happen.

RIP to his dad and other victims.

Mental health is no laughing matter.

But he needs to be put away for good.

The Angels may be able to get him on the cheap

Good eye on the part of the off duty cop

I understand this may have been a mental health situation, but people seriously are dumb these days. 

 

It's like they don't understand if you murder someone, YOU ARE GOING TO GET CAUGHT. If not right away, eventually. Sure there are the few and far between who get away, but if you just sit back and realize that you'll be sitting in a concrete box for many many years, sometimes the rest of your life, because you wanted to shoot someone, it really just doesn't seem worth it.

I'm very familiar with Santiago HS, but what exactly was this kid's deal? Obviously he's a nutter, but he has a history of violence towards his parents...why?

Corona.

Meth.

I heard that he didn't shoot them........he used a baseball bat to the backs of their heads.

 

He got $860,000.00 from the Rays and blew it in the first year. His Mom was his coach when he was young and his Dad was just a silent observer.
