Why a child molester will be chosen in the MLB draft

“Sometime over the next 48 hours, a Major League Baseball team is almost certain to ask an admitted child molester to play in its organization. It’s likeliest to happen Tuesday, during Rounds 3 through 10 of the MLB draft, or perhaps Wednesday, over the draft’s final 30 rounds. And on the off-chance that the handful of teams with Luke Heimlich on their draft boards opt against selecting him, the chance that he goes unsigned is basically zero.”

The biggest issue for a MLB franchise is the PR hit and backlash. If the Cincinnati Bengals were a baseball franchise they would take him. Or the Rays could select him. There would be no one in the park to boo him.

I realize he may have had some bad legal advice on a plea deal. But try selling it to your fan base.
