AKRON, Ohio -- Beau Mills is what they call in baseball, a "bonus baby," signing a $1.5-million contract after the Cleveland Indians made him their top draft choice in 2007.

Mills is now in Double-A Akron and unfortunately for him, police say he was in a bar called Whiskey Dick's after an Aeros game on June 3.

Police were called to a bar on West Exchange Street around closing time, after witnesses reported an off-duty bouncer had been beaten by a group of men who had taunted him about using steroids, and taunted his girlfriend for dating him.

Akron Police quickly learn three of the men are Indian farmhands, the aforementioned Beau Mills, Aeros outfielder Jerad Head and Columbus Clippers pitcher Josh Tomlin.

"It just got physical, I mean they got into an argument led into you know, kicks, punches," Lt. Rick Edwards, Akron Public Information Officer said.

The Akron Aeros front office declined comment on the allegations, but Akron Police say the beating the took rose to the level of felonious assault and criminal charges were filed on Tuesday.

Edwards says the assault was brutal. "Our victim basically was knocked to the ground after being punched and kicked, he was kicked in the side, a couple of broken ribs and a punctured lung, was transported by local paramedics here to the hospital where he spent a couple of days in the hospital recovering from those injuries."

If convicted, the three players could face punishment ranging from probation to eight years in prison.

Beau Mills and Jerad Head were released on signature bonds. Josh Tomlin is expected to surrender to Akron Police.

I guess instead of trying to make it to the major leagues these three clowns will be playing in the prison league.
