Boating accident. Today's game against the Braves has been cancelled.

24 years old. Rookie of the Year winner in 2013. 2 time All Star.
He was 2nd in the majors with 253 Ks this year (to only 55 walks).

Horrible news.

Terrible. I can remember as a kid when Steve Olin and Tim Crews died in a boating accident.

Yeah, that's the one I mentioned above. Tim Crews was drunk and it was getting dark and he ran into a dock that wasn't lit up at all. Ojeda survived because he was crouching down or something when the boat made impact.

The whole situation really shook me as a kid.

Shit man!! That sucks.

Boating accidents, how do they happen?

Is it wreckless behavior? Are people usually driving super fast and being stupid?

Usually at night. Usually with alcohol involved.
I live close to the Ohio River. I see dumb shit on the water all the time.

Note : I have no idea what happened in this case.

I couldn't imagine it wasn't one of those things you mentioned, otherwise how do you get into a boating accident? It's not like cars where there are many on the water and you could happen to crash into each other.

Apparently they hit a collection of rocks. Coast Guard guessing that they couldn't see them after getting a bit off course.

That kid was a remarkable player. He started out excellent and would have gotten even better. I have been following his stats since he started. What has happened is just terrible. (I literally just found out via this thread)

me too. I have him on my fantasy team and saw he was inactive earlier and thought that the Marlins had shut him down for the season like it was expected.

it's always bizarre to find out that a strong, young guy who was bound to become famous and millionaire just died like that.

I'm listening to Rich Eisen and they are talking about Jose.

I knew him from his stats and his ability. Apparently he was a very good person. Lots of athletes calling in talking about it. Donnie Baseball broke down talking about him. Sad.

The other 2 people that died were 20 years old. Way too young.

I'm watching the marlins play the mets right now on mlb network,jose seemed to be close with barry bonds. I thought the accident happened on a speed boar it was a fishing boat those miami waters must be rough.
