Baseball Betting Lines

01/19/2012 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland Indians pitcher Fausto Carmona was arrested Thursday in his native Dominican Republic on charges of double identity.

Maximo Baez Aybar, a spokesman for the Dominican National Police, said through his Twitter account that Carmona's real name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia and that he is actually 31 years old, not 28.

Aybar said Carmona was apprehended after leaving the American consulate, where he was renewing his visa.

Indians general manager Chris Antonetti released the following statement regarding the situation:

"We were recently made aware of the situation that occurred today in the Dominican Republic and are currently in the process of gathering information. We are not prepared to make any additional comment at this time."

Carmona has spent his entire six-year big league career with the Indians. He went 19-8 with a 3.06 earned run average in 2007 -- his first season as a full-time starter -- but has struggled to a 33-48 record since. Last season, he went 7-15 with a 5.25 ERA in 32 starts.
