From the Strib:
Juan Rincon, 25, hasn't reached the millionaire status of more established major leaguers, but his $330,000 annual salary is still a fortune by Venezuela standards.In an interview last week, Rincon told about being robbed last year by several men who forced his car to the side of the road and then recognized him.
They demanded cash, which he did not have.
He said he eventually talked them into accepting a check, which the robbers cashed the next morning at 8 a.m.
"The bank even called me to approve the transfer of the funds," Rincon said. "I said yes. What could I do? They knew who I was and where I lived."
