Julian Tavarez (RP), BOS - Alert: MED
March 27, 2006
News: Tavarez was involved in an altercation with Tampa Bay's Joey Gathright at home plate on Monday. Tavarez tagged Gathright out at home plate and stepped on Gathright's arm. As Gathright tried to struggle free when the play was over, Tavarez landed a blow to Gathright's left jaw.
Views: From the sounds of it, Tavarez was the instigator in the fight, and a decent sized stay on the suspended list is probably in order. Tavarez is no stranger to being suspended, as he's always been known for a hot temper and even had an incident where he was accused of having pine tar on the bill of his cap with the Cardinals a couple of years ago. He's only useful in AL leagues or mixed leagues with holds, anyway.
