FAUSTO CARMONA RUMORS
Roberto Hernandez is Not Fausto Carmona
Yes, well obviously Roberto Hernandez is not Fausto Carmona. The name Fausto Carmona belongs to someone else, and though the history of Cleveland Indians starting pitcher “Fausto Carmona” belongs to Roberto Hernandez, the two pitchers (the one pitcher) are not the same.
What I’m saying is: Roberto Hernandez is striking out batters.
He has a 22.5% K-rate right now. His previous...
Indians throw ‘Fausto Carmona’ birthday party to heckle him about identity fraud
Those of you who have followed the Fausto Carmona saga over the past six months or so know why we put quotation marks around his name in the headline. It’s because Fausto Carmona was never Fausto Carmona. The man who pitched for the Indians prior to his arrest for identity theft back in January is Roberto Hernandez. The Indians (and the rest of us) were led to believe he was 28...
Indians Place Fausto Carmona on Restricted List
The Cleveland Indians have officially placed starting pitcher Fausto Carmona on the restricted list. Carmona, whose real name is reportedly Roberto Hernandez Heredia, was arrested one week ago on charges of false identity as he was attempting to renew his visa within the Dominican Republic.
Released on $13,000 bond, Carmona/Hernandez will have to endure the Dominican legal process...
Carmona's arrest leaves hole in rotation

Carmona's arrest made his availability for the start of spring training, and perhaps for the start of the regular season, very questionable.
Before Carmona's arrest, the Indians appeared to be in a position...

Fake Fausto Carmona Reportedly Was Outed by Real Fausto Carmona’s Mom on a Radio Show Because of Monetary Dispute
The Indians pitcher formerly known as Fausto Carmona was arrested in the Dominican Republic this week for using a false identity. Carmona, or Roberto Hernadez Heredia if you prefer, has been pitching with the assumed name since 2000. So what led to his arrest several years later? Apparently a dispute over the amount of money he would have paid the real Fausto Carmona to continue...
Carmona's deception a matter of money
Theres probably nothing quite like running a major league baseball team and waking up to find out one of the guys youre counting on is not who you thought he was.
Literally.
One day the Cleveland Indians feel like Fausto Carmona is an erratic but still reasonably young pitcher who might be able to turn around a rocky career.
A few hours later hes a post-30 guy whose best days might...
