    Mets current 40 man roster consists of:

    USA- 20
    Ven- 5
    PR - 5
    DR - 4
    Mex- 2
    Can- 2
    Ger- 1
    Jap- 1

    40% of their roster are born in Latin American countries. (This does not include Nelson Figueroa who was born in NY) It would be interesting to compare this to other teams in the league to see if their is something to this. Maybe I'll look into it if I have more time.

    It's sad that this topic still needs to be addressed. Looking at the racial makeup of the Mets 40-man roster, as provided by a comment from Mark last week, the Mets had 15 Latinos out of 39 players, or 38%. About 29% of MLB players are Latino, meaning the Mets have four more Latin American players on their roster than average. Wow, stop the presses! How many Latinos are presently on the World Champion Yankees' roster? Answer: 19 out of 37, good for 51%. This is irrefutable evidence that Brian Cashman only goes after Latino players. Let the Yankee fan outrage begin. Former Mariners GM Bill Bavasi signed Raul Ibanez, Carlos Silva and Adrian Beltre to free agent contracts in his short tenure, and traded for Miguel Olivo and Horacio Ramirez - he too must have only gone after Latinos!

    Thanks. I guess that kills that myth.

    Whenever I think of dysfunctional sports teams, the first teams that pop in my head are the Bengals, Raiders, and Knicks. Not so much the Mets.
    Ready for Offseason rumors and trade talk!

    The Raiders are so obviously the most dysfunctional team in sports it's not even funny.

    raiders get my vote
    Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .
