Damn. Awful news.

Could've been the next Vlad Guerrero type of guy.

It is a sad day in MLB. Oscar had so much talent and could not wait to see what he could do with it.

Heartbreaking. :(

R.I.P. and thoughts and prayers to his family.

I know what it's like to see one of your team's young potential stars have his life cut short, so I really feel for Cardinals fans as well. Just tragic all around :(

Taveras' blood alcohol content level was 5 times the legal limit, according to officials in the Dominican Republic.

The only tragic part of this entire incident is that the young woman died in the crash.

Taveras is an idiot who deserved whatever came to him if he was 5x the limit and driving with a passenger. Should never be in that situation. He's an idiot.

Thank you for the soliloquy that no one asked for.

I'm sure this is no longer a "tragedy" to his family because he endangered the lives of others and killed his girlfriend in the process.

Just cause he did something stupid doesnt mean he "deserves" to die.
