The only black guys were Jackson & Kendrick
Lind is white. His wife is from Canada and she is black.
Difo, DeAza. Robles, Bautista, Sanchez & Severino are Mexicans.
SO it was mostly Mexicans, a lot of them Sept. call-ups. They get called up so the teams can see what they can do. You gotta play those guys if you wanna see what they can do.
Difo has been with the team. He's been hitting alot, so Baker wants to keep him in tune, so Baker plays him as much as he can.
Severino has been there before. He showed some promise last year, but hasn't been doing as good this year.
Baker's known in MLB for playing his reserves. He says you can't have a guy sit on the bench half the season, then stick him in there & expect him to do something after he's been on his ass the half the season. He's got a point. That's probably why the Nats have gotten as far as they've gotten with half the team being reserves.
