Estrada Uses Family to promote self
When Johnny Estrada's grandfather passed (Johnny P. Estrada Sr.) he decided to write a book on his career, including personal information about his Family. When his Grandmother heard of this news through one of her sons, she immediately called Johnny's father and made it clear that she did not want Johnny's book to contain her husband's or immediate family's history in any way, shape, or form. Despite his Grandmothers request Johnny went ahead and produced many slanderous and fabricated stories in both printed articles in various sports magazines and on the internet. He then produced a story directly implicating his grandfather in drug and prison activities. He did not care to contact his grandmother or any other family member to inform her of his intentions. Johnny did not show any concern for his Grandmothers feelings, or the effect his actions would have on her, as well as the entire family. The truth is, he was never close with his Grandfather due to the actions of Johnny's Father and mother, in fact he never even bothered to show up at his Grandfathers funeral. Johnny is COLD and calculating and does not care for anyone but himself and his own self promotion. Why does he feel the need to drag his family into the gutter? Yet, despite the tearful request of his grandmother he did just that !! When this situation was brought to the attention of the Estrada family, a family meeting was called and a decision made to contact him through his web page. We requested that he correct his fallacious use of family experiences for his own personal gain. His reaction? To have his father call his grandmother and yell at her and threaten her with lawyers for attacking his son ! Johnny's lack of handling this situation properly shows the true extent of his character, clearly defined for all to see. One week after receiving the family's request to make corrections in his publications, he published another story. He did not make the corrections, instead He went the opposite way, callously creating another story about his grandfather. The entire Estrada family is proud of Johnny's achievements and wish him well, but his insistence to continue to hurt the very people who love and support him persist. The Estrada family is deeply offended and hurt by his actions and wish he would stand on his own merits instead of on the backs of his family. It is the consensus of the Estrada Family that the matter be resolved without proceeding with legal action. To resolve this immediately we demand that Johnny Estrada refrains from using his Grandfathers name, life story, or any analogy thereof in any form of media, and remove all references of his Grandfather from all the existing media. His Grandmother is still waiting for his apology.
[edit] Argument with Yost
It's all over the papers and on Sportscenter... do you think it ought to be put in the article? Miles Blues 14:14, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Changes
Why does this article keep getting switched back to saying Estrada is a free agent, when that is in accurate information. Also, when you switch it back the grammar in the first paragraph is garbage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwold (talk • contribs) 20:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Estrada didn't actually sign until this afternoon. JustSomeRandomGuy32 (talk) 21:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Estrada a Met?
Ok, I'm wondering. Estrada was, for a couple of off-season months, officially on the Mets roster, depth-chart, etc. though he never had the opportunity to try on the uniform, as he was non-tendered and later signed by the Nationals. My question is, should his short tenure with the Mets be listed under his past teams? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.237.93.76 (talk) 04:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
