Adam Jones basically said if he wants to be Pedro he should pitch as well as Pedro and not try to hurt guys, which he said Pedro didn't do...anyways, my favorite part of that quote was the confirmation that these punishments outside of missing games are irrelevant. "Hopefully the league will look into it, I've got Mannys fine, and that's that." Lol I love how little they care about even making it seem like the fines matter, I've been aware of times where guys have paid for fines for other guys but I've personally never seen them come out and say it beforehand lol. They might as well not even bother handing out these fines anymore, the only real deterrence is missing game checks.
Random, but this reminded me of when the Angels beat up on Fernando Rodney and taunted him with his own arrow celebration, why cant more guys just have fun with stuff like this? I hate to put anyone in a box or judge, but there's too many players never involved in stuff like this to not take something away from it, even though Ventura was already confirmed and I think this would look different for Manny without the A's incidents.
