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.

I'm making an observation, not an argument. Do with it what you will

Good one!

I would add Marlon Byrd to the All-Marlon Grinders.

He doesn't have a lot of natural talent and he's not a great athlete, and no one's ever expected him to become a star, but he always finds a place on an MLB roster because he's a real blue-collar worker, a scrapper, he works hard, and he always hustles. Can anyone tell me who i'm thinking of?

If this is not the point Daffodil is making, then I will nominate Bill Hall, Brewers.


I'd have to go with Donnie Sadler. The exception to the rule, if you will. As Casey said, you can look it up.

*edit* I guess he retired last year, and upon further inspection, was an All-Star in 1996 (mandatory one-per team?).


Man, I was gonna say Quinton McCracken, but he dropped out of the pros last year and is playing in an independent league now. You should've asked this question last year!
