Laird Arrested
January 3rd, 2010 Posted in Gerald LairdGerald Laird and his little brother were arrested in Arizona for getting into a fight after a Phoenix Suns game. This just doesn’t seem right, does it? Laird seemed reasonably mild mannered during his first season with the Tigers, but I guess I don’t really know the guy.
This isn’t a Gilbert Arenas situation as there were no real threats and no guns. However, Laird and his brother allegedly assaulted the security guards at a lounge in the arena and were then arrested. Yikes. Hopefully Gerald can get his stuff straightened out and apologizes. Catchers are due to report to Lakeland in a month or so, so a clear head sure would be nice.
Laird was stellar behind the plate and handled Justin Verlander and Rick Porcello like a real pro. In his first season in Detroit, Laird hit .225 with 4 HR in 135 games.

I thought the Tigers had a bunch of “good character” guys.

He was probably influenced by his little brother in the Yankees organization

Seriously, is there a team that organization hasn’t poisoned in some way?
