Before anyone kills me, I know what he was accused of. I also know that after a 5 month investigation, the District Attorney of LA County decided not to pursue charges. Not saying his "tastes" are to be condoned or that he will not carry that stigma with him, but he was always ahead of the curve on the analytical approach to pitching. That and his potential to be an ace, or a valuable trade chip would seem to fit in nicely with Elias' approach.
