Esteban Loaiza has a Ferrari?

Esteban Loaiza was arrested Wednesday at 3:30 AM for suspicion of reckless driving and charged with a DUI. Loaiza's Ferrari was clocked at speeds of 120 MPH. He spent the night in Jail. Loaiza, 1-3 with a 6.89 ERA, was scheduled to make his second appearance since coming off the DL this Thursday against the Mariners. The 3-year, 21 million dollar contract the A's signed Loaiza to this offseason wasn't looking particularly good to begin with. It doesn't make things better when in his first season with the team, he's booted from the rotation, forced to the DL and arrested in a car that his new excessive contract probably just paid for. This probably has no fantasy impact, but the team cannot be happy with Loaiza and had Harden not gone down to injury or they had any other fresh arm to use, it's my guess they would have again buried him in the bullpen somewhere. As is, he'll most likely take his next start in the rotation. (I like how ESPN has a Heineken advertisement to the right of this story. Great Message.)
