from www.sportsgrid.com – A few weeks ago, Reds really-hard-thrower Aroldis Chapman had “clothing, a computer and other valuables worth about $6,000″ stolen from his hotel room in Pittsburgh.

The goods were allegedly stolen while Claudia Manrique, a married stripper, was staying in Chapman’s room. Chapman told police that the two had been “dating” since April, and she would meet him in various cities when the Reds hit the road.

Manrique originally claimed that Chapman’s stuff — as well of some of her things — were taken from her by a man posing as a hotel maintenance worker, while she was alone in Chapman’s room.

But wait, the story gets more interesting. Her original story had inconsistencies, and now she is being charged with a misdemeanor for lying to the police about the crime.

The first clue that she was lying may have been that she claimed that the man tied her up with cloth napkins. Is that serious? She may as well have been tied up with Silly String. The police questioned her for 12 hours, and when they pointed out multiple inconsistencies in her story, she broke down in tears. Eventually, she told them the real story, or at least the one that the police are going with, for now.

Manrique said that a man stole her wallet at a CVS earlier in the day, told her that she knew her friend from back home and threatened to hurt her if she didn’t disclose her hotel room number. He showed up a few hours later, and she willingly let him in (really, Claudia?), supposedly fearing for her friend’s safety.

For some reason, she didn’t call the police in between the wallet theft and him appearing at the hotel room. No charges have been filed for the robbery as of now, and hotel cameras showed the man leaving the room with a duffel bag that contained Chapman’s stolen goods and Manrique’s wallet, which was later used in the area.

Chapman told the police that he thinks Manrique was involved in the robbery, because she wasn’t acting like herself, asked him to change flight plans twice that week and was taking strange phone calls from a man speaking Spanish, yet she responded to him in English. Chapman doesn’t understand English, so he assumed she was hiding something. He thinks the calls were from a man to whom she owes money for helping her into the country. Manrique also was charged for stealing thousands of dollars from a male in Baltimore, in an unrelated crime.

Clearly, Chapman needs to work on his decision-making skills. He’s an up-and-coming, potential star athlete, yet he chooses to date a married stripper who has stolen from men before? C’mon, Aroldis! You can do better.

On the mound, Aroldis doesn’t need to make decisions. Hmmm, what should I throw? 105 MPH fastball, or 105 MPH fastball? But off the mound, the simplest solution may not be the best solution. Work on developing a curveball. Maybe go for some non-strippers. A doctor, maybe. Test the entire lineup, don’t just go after the number-eight hitter and call it a night.
