It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality.

Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

[edit] Controversy section

I re-edited it again, unprotected it, for now, and included his rape trial into his page. --Stopprop 16:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

His nickname is not Joe Table, and no one has ever called him that, it is NOT a nickname besides for the fact a few fans may call him such. Also it is senseless to mention that he bats right handed, since he has not made an at bat this year yet. The rape & assualt case is part of Jose Mesa and should stay on the page. I will leave the link at the bottom of the page--Stopprop 01:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the assault & Omar Vizquel parts of the controversy section.

The commented out source[1] for the assault portion did match the claims made here. This needs to be rewritten in a cited NPOV manner.

The part about Omar Vizquel (particularly the threats) is completely unsourced. This needs to be sourced.

Thanks. -- JLaTondre 03:03, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

As an anon editor from a non-static IP continues to reintroduce these claims without sourcing, I have semi-protected the article. Any editor who can properly source these claims is welcome to. However, continued BLP violations will not be tolerated. -- JLaTondre 20:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
