Harris flat out sucks (or he used to with the Sox, thus the name he was always referred to as was Willie Fucking Harris in these parts). His asset was speed and little else.

I'd have to check Roberts' stats. I mentioned him because he seems to bounce around a lot, but always seems to be a valuable asset to his team. Good speed, decent bat. Not a big name. I take it from your response that I need to keep trying.

Yeah, there is an NL West player who does not have "blazing speed" or any other really outstanding attributes, but he could have a decent career - without ever really starting - if he keeps playing the way he has

It was more of an observation/trick question/mild protestation at first. Think about it - can you name a currently active MLB player of African-American descent who's made a career for himself despite mediocre-to-low talent and not a lot of athletic ability(relatively speaking)? The kind of player i'm thinking of would not be immediately thought of, or even considered at all, when a pinch-runner is needed in the late innings. Also, the words "great expectations" and/or "disappointment" were seldom, if ever, used to describe him

Black US born MLB players are on the decline... wake up the world when it starts to care

well, you may not care


So tell us why you care again?

Name a scrappy philipino NHL player.. whats his name again?

OH NOES alert! Pinoy NHL Players are on the decline, what will we do?

A lot of my all-time favorite baseball players were/are of African-American descent. Simple enough?


At least you have an answer, 98% of the sports writers almost admitted they were writing about it because it was a slow summer :)

My favorite player is black, but not american. I am not black, but american. I would have his baby.

name that baby!

Were greater things expected of him as a starter at 2B for the Phillies? If not, then i'd definitely say yes


Were greater things expected of 99.9% of all high draft picks? That seems to be a BS excuse for an argument. Were better things expected of Mark Prior? Ben Sheets? Oh no, the majors is making it difficult for soft pitchers. Oh the humanity!

So MLB is racist for only wanting black players who have star potential or speed? Is that what you're implying? Or that "scrappy" players like David Eckstein or Ryan Theriot are in the bigs at the expense of African-American players?

Weak POV.
