If your crack’s from Otis Nixon, then your pipe could use some fixin’.

Nixon, 54, had a crack pipe in his pocket and a crack rock in his vehicle when he was stopped on I-575 early Saturday, according to a Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office reported obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

A 911 caller reported a red Dodge Ram pickup truck driving erratically on I-575 north shortly after midnight and a deputy was dispatched and pulled the truck over, the report states. A state trooper ...

According to B-R, his name is Angel Ramon Santos. Was he one of the guys who was caught under a false name when he was playing in MLB?

Blows my mind that I don't remember anything about him at all. I generally have some knowledge of any player a team can bring off their bench or out of their bullpen, from about 1982 to the present. But if I ever saw him play, I've forgotten completely. The name game doesn't help but I don't remember Angel Santos either.

Was Barrios/Berrios his mother's maiden name?

Santos was on the '03 Indians team that lost every MLB-ready middle infielder in the organization to injury and ended up rolling 22-year-old Brandon Phillips and 21-year-old Jhonny Peralta out there for a combined 663 PA of ~54 OPS+ suckitude.

The middle infield was supposed to be Ricky Gutierrez/Vizquel, but Gutierrez hurt his back and Vizquel hadn't recovered from knee surgery. Bill Selby wasn't much of a second baseman and hit .103, Zach Sorensen was an awful hitter who was never going to keep an MLB job, and John McDonald hit .215/258/.280. Eventually they turned to Santos, mostly because he had a pulse and wasn't Selby, Sorensen, McDonald, Phillips, or Peralta.

I remember thinking he had a bit of pop, an interesting beard, and looked like he knew what he was doing in the field, though he never did get back to the majors. I guess a .245 career OBP will do that to a guy.

You can't take the Barrio out of Barrios.

I've bought drugs in "La Perla", it was quick and easy. Much nicer than some urban US open air drug markets. Of course, I didn't stick around until after dark.

Really hurts his Hall of Fame chances.
