You make fair points. I really disagree with the process, though. I guess we'll see, but I would be very surprised if he came anywhere near Reyes...and tbh if they got the same amount of time, I'd feel like MLB is trivializing physical abuse.
Intent matters. Unless you can determine that he intended to scare the s*** out of her, (given that he avoided physically harming her in the heat of the moment and was clearly very enraged, I find it unlikely) you can't make that argument imo. Sure, she was probably afraid but unless his intent was to make her afraid I'm not sure how you can punish him for it.
Does anyone want to trade up to pick 8? I'm looking to move into the back half of the first round if anyone is really eyeing someone who may not fall.
