Another Pitcher Arrested

Brian Shackelford joins Brett Myers in the "arrested for assaulting a woman" category:

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Brian Shackelford was arrested early Thursday on suspicion of third-degree sexual assault.

The 29-year-old player was arrested shortly after midnight at Miller Park, where the Reds played the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night, police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said. She declined to provide details on the arrest other than to say it involved a woman Monday.

"It's an ongoing criminal investigation," she said.

Sgt. Michael Damian said Shackelford was still jailed Thursday morning.

The Reds moved on to Atlanta, so it's not clear who is going to bail out Brian. If the Reds learned anything from the Myers incident, it's don't let this person pitch anytime soon.

Update: Looking at Shackleford's stats, the Reds wouldn't want him pitching anytime soon anyway.
