Completely irresponsible journalism from Rosenthal. I expect this out of CHB and his ilk.
Manny quit on this team, and forced a trade. (Dominican descent)
Lugo is hurt but to my knowledge is still on the 40-man (Dominican descent)
Colon ran away and hid in the DR, not their fault.
If we look at the 40 man, these are the non-white players:
David Ortiz
Julio Lugo
Hideki Okajima
Daisuke Matsuzaka
Javier Lopez
Manny Delcarmen
Alex Cora
Coco Crisp
Devern Hansack
Argenis Diaz
Bartolo Colon
11 out of 40, and you could classify Ellsbury and Lowell as non-white as well.
If you look at soxprospects.com's top 25, the following are of non-white descent:
Stolmy Pimentel
Oscar Tejeda
Luis Exposito
Che-Hsuan Lin
Argenis Diaz
Michael Almanzar
Yamaico Navarro
Felix Doubront
Completely irresponsible journalism.
