1) Is it a current MLB player?
These things apparently serve only to gratify the person who says "ohh.. I know but I can't tell you... but I know.. did I mention that I know? And you don't?"
2) Is he a 6'10" LHP with 4000+ K, the world's worst mullet and a face that look likes it belongs on an apodicerial corpse that got stuck in a wood chipper?
Best Regards

Could be Moreno but again he has 3 kids.
Could be Todd Stottlemyre
Could be Jim Bruske
If you don't feel comfortable sharing the info you have, then there's no point in posting anything at all about it. We are all worse off now than before this thread started, even the children.
Google Maps
According to google maps, there is a 5900 block of East Ludlow in Scottsdale.
Houses there look nice but not super rich,

Amen, brother. Was just about to post this exactly.

Are you a PI in training or just a very good stalker?, Just kidding.
Sad if true.
Well, I admit I was trying to find out who it might be myself. Not mentioning the name in your post was proper, IMO.
I can't believe the newspapers couldn't have figured out how to do the same thing. There must be some unspoken agreement not to release the name until they get police approval. That, or my guess is wrong.
If you aren't willing to run with the name, you shouldn't report any details at all. It's asinine to give the amount of info they gave without giving the name, and it most certainly doesn't reflect human decency---creating a guessing game is in no one's best interests.

There are exceptions, but usually only if they are incredibly prominent and it is impossible or improper (as could be the case of a high-ranking political figure) not to inform the public immediatey.
If memory serves (I went to school out there), it's the current, probably expanded incarnation of the Mesa daily newspaper. Which raises the question of why they're covering something in Scottsdale, on the other side of the Salt River ...
I was looking at his BBRef page a few months ago and thought the exact same thing - he looked older, maybe because of the body type, maybe because of the facial hair. He was a star closer at 24 which is rare.
I found this out last night because I know the reporter from the link I posted. Posting without the name was necessary, but not for reasons that have to do with BBTF, not at all. To repeat from the story:Good enough for me.
Which very well may have happened. (How BR Bullpen would know that, if true, is weird.)
It is, but the Tribune also covers Scottsdale. This was, I think, deemed close enough with a prominent name to justify posting on the Web.
Yep they did.
Well, I have to say, there's something to be said for consistency.
Even if they are, how likely is it that they're somewhere where they can surf Primer, but not be contacted by authorities or the rest of their family?
It is. Young guy. Seemed like a salt-of-the-earth fellow. And for a while there, a hell of an arm.
That's probably correct. However, the given reason is patently stupid.
It has been changed to yesterday.
If it was true, Bob Hope could've sued the AP for killing him off.
And as the lawsuit was working its way through the courts, he would've died, rendering the suit moot.
Clearly, the BR Bullpen people are history's greatest monsters.
Wasn't that the year he came to spring training in a camper with his family?
The Des Moines River, IIRC
Article about him living in a trailer while playing for Iowa in 2003.
That was what I remember.
Could be a suicide, which would be even sadder.
No, sorry. Friend didn't have much last night, and I haven't talked to her this morning.
This quote from the article made me think it wasn't in the house. Sounds like whoever called the police knew there was a death involved. If he died in his house, there's no way anyone outside would know.
Didn't read the thread, eh?
Heh.
Not that it helps much.
The decent thing to do when death might be involved is to post so as to encourage rumors, apparently.
Don't like it? Don't read it. Don't click on the thread, when it's apparent that's what it is in the intro. Them's the breaks.
Better to hope that there will be a modicum of intelligence and judgment exercised in the future in beginning threads, I think, which avoid errors like this one.
The comment you are responding to, just FYI, is applicable to the intro as well and thus, your response misses the point anyway.
There is no error. What I posted is straight from the Phoenix police, with an added fact that makes the news pertinent to BBTF.
Yes, but again, why not simply wait until the player's name is released so as to avoid all of the speculation? As far as I can tell, it does no one any good to post "Someone died. Baseball player. Can't say who."
Were you under the impression that posting "some baseball player died, but I won't tell you whom" was likely to lead to productive discussion? If so, of what exactly, and why?
I simply don't see it, but perhaps you have a different approach.
Check the Web: unsourced rumors - with the name - are out there. Please defend the alternative of posting those.
I simply can't imagine what productive thing you thought would be accomplished here.
Er, I'm puzzled as to why you think that course of action's the natural alternative. I certainly don't believe that anyone on this thread suggested that you should've done so. It seems to me that posting nothing until you could provide a properly sourced story would have been more productive.
Well, I couldn't imagine what a bunch of ethically-holier-than-thou gits would reply.
It has nothing to do with ethics. I don't think that it's unethical to post what you posted, merely unhelpful. You're also not answering his question.
And the link to the story quoting the police is where?
That's what you didn't expect, whether it's a reasonable characterization. What exactly did you expect?
