SouthernJet Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 People talk about Omar and his signing practices,,but do Mets really have more Latins than average MLB team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon88 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I think they are around the league average, I read that somewhere during the season. I think it is just magnified in the NY area since Omar has been here, it seems most of his moves involve getting a latin player. On a side note, a buddy of mine who is a Yankee fan said they must be last in the league in number of black players on their roster, and they have been like that for a few years now. Never really thought about it, and quickly going through the team in my head, can't think of any. Anyone? Personally, I told him what I tell everyone saying the Mets are all Latin, I couldn't care if they are latin, black, indian, whatever, If they help my team win, that's all I care about.

wildthing2022000 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 According to Yahoo baseball rosters Mets have 19 Latinos(1 Mexican, 1 Venezuela, 17 from the islands) Red Sox have 9 Yankees have 12 Florida have 10 Angels have 8 Just guessing here but I would say yes the Mets have the most Latinos.

NIGHT STALKER Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I'm not trying to bust up this thread because I it find it interesting, but it made me think of another question. How come you don't see many Hispanics in the NFL? Now, I'm not talking about out of the country Hispanics, I'm talking about Hispanic-Americans.

I think in general, Latin athletes are smaller athletes as compared to football players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not the most than way above average. Seems like every deal Omar makes (including Estrada today) is for a Latino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
