mrklean Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Just read an article Ramos was kidnapped, no demand for him have been made. Maybe that was bill smiths first move try and get something back for that horrible capps trade...sorry that was a bad joke. Hopefully he is returned soon, most of the crazies down there kidnap for cash so hopefully everthing will turn out ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted4887 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'd read this too. Yikes! Hopefully it all ends well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maros91 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Seen that. People down there are loco. Hope he is found safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughguy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 My prayers are with him. This is just terrible. I've read things in the past about players from down there having full time security protecting their houses. Didn't something like this happen to a relative of Johan Santana? Maybe I'm wrong but I know he was at least concerned about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solbes Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Oh man that's not good. Hope he is returned safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkedAgain Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 With the wealth that many of these guys get in the United States, it would seem that MLB should strongly encourage them to hire protection services in their home countries (if they live in a country where abduction is a concern).

hoppe56307 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 "Police last year said that 618 kidnappings were reported in 2009, and the numbers have grown rapidly in recent years. Security experts say the real number of kidnappings is much higher because many cases aren't reported to authorities."That is a stagering number of kidnappings. I would not go out of the house with out people protecting me and having a gun on me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklean Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 i wouldnt go there period, bring the family to the US where you know just because you have money you wont get kidnapped, just sued for something instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierBridge Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 They should have waited a year or so he only made 450 last year. 99 percent chance he will be released unharmed~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklean Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 you think its really that high? With how crazy some of those people are down there i was thinking like 75%, you would think if they wanted money they would have said it right away been almost a full day with no contact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greebs Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 stuff like this makes a person glad to be living in the good ol USA. sure we have plenty of crazies here too but seems like in some of these other places it's much worse.

Harmonica Bear Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Not to make light of the situation, I hope all works out out well.But...Do you think the kidnappers would take Matt Capps and player to be named later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
