A few words from Kasten on Esmailyn Gonzalez

The good news is Stan Kasten is as surprised and upset as the rest of us, the bad news is this gives us no more answers. 

When asked whether or not people should call the once prized prospect shortstop Esmailyn Gonzalez or by his birth name Carlos Lugo, Kasten replied:

"I'm not exactly sure how to refer to him, so for  now I'll just call him 'the Player to Be Named Later."

And if you couldn't tell Kasten was upset, he went on to call the situation:

"An elaborate scheme."

"I'm angry. I'm very angry. We've been defrauded. And make no mistake: This wasn't a college kid with a fake ID. This was a deliberate, premeditated fraud, that involved bribes, along with falsified hospital and school records."
