"I think there is a good chance Roberto could be in Cleveland by the All-Star break," said Stephen Payne, a visa expert and lobbyist hired Hernandez's agents. The All-Star break runs July 9-12. The All-Star Game is in Kansas City on July 10.Hernandez was arrested on false identity charges in the Dominican Republic during the winter when he applied for a visa under the Carmona name. Dominican authorities said his real name was Roberto Hernandez and that he was 31, not 28, as the Indians listed him in their media guide. Last week, Juan Carlos Oviedo, formerly Leo Nunez of the Miami Marlins, was granted a visa after being arrested in September for the same offense. MLB suspended Oviedo for eight weeks. He will be eligible to play in the big leagues on July 23. Hernandez is not expected to serve such a suspension. At the Indians' insistence, Hernandez renegotiated his contract in spring training, taking a big pay cut because the team felt it was duped when they signed him to a four-year, $15 million deal in 2008 because he was playing under a false name. Set to earn $7 million this year, Hernandez's salary was cut to $2.5 million. The Indians held a $9 million club option on Hernandez for 2013, which was reduced to $6 million. The Indians have petitioned the U.S. State Department that the salary cut should serve as punishment enough. It's believed MLB and the players association feels the same. The last word from the Indians is that Hernandez was still throwing simulated games at their baseball academy in the Dominican. 有可能成功在七月回來，只需要罰錢不禁賽? 因為用假名簽約，今年只要給 2.5M，明年也只要 6M 續約 對我們而言算是好事 :D -- t a ╭◢██◣╮ ╭══╮ ╭════════╮ #52╭═theanswer3═╮ h n ║██◣◥╰══╯◢▌╰═══╯ ◣ ◢▌ ● ╰══╯ ╴I ║ e s ║◥██◣ ◢█◣ ██◣ ◢█◣◥█◣ ██◣ ◢ ◢█◣ ￣ √ ║ w ║◣◥██ █◢█ █▌█ █◢█ █ ███ █ █◢█ ● ║ e ║◥██◤ ◥◤◥ ◥█◤ ◥◤◥ ◥◆ ◥▌◤ ◤ ◥◤◥ Γ ﹀ ║ r 3╰══════════════════════════════════╯ --
