League Suspends Fajardo and Marks for Brawl Tuesday, May 24th, 2016 In an announcement today, the league informed Juan Fajardo of Cal State Fullerton and Ed Marks of Louisiana-Layfayette that they both had been suspended 8 games for fighting in a recent game. The league president told them, "This type of aggressive behavior will not be tolerated in this league." Fajardo wasn't happy with the length of his suspension. He thought he got the worst deal and told the league commissioner, "In any fight, whoever throws the first punch should get a more severe penalty. If I threw the first punch, I'd expect to get the most punishment. Whoever took the blow should get a lesser punishment." His manager agreed with him and said something needs to be done about it. "Fajardo is right. The league needs to look at its policy and make sure the punishment fits the crime." This season Fajardo has 18 home runs and a .297 batting average. This season Marks has logged 24 relief appearances, 27.2 IP, 27 strikeouts, and a 3.25 ERA. His W-L mark is 1 win and 1 loss, and he has no saves. |
