An Eye Opener From Jose Bautista
Today an interesting article has come forward from Blue Jays Right Fielder Jose Bautista- in this one he expresses the difficulties and misunderstandings that often come when young players from Dominican Republic enter the Major League's.
Drawing from not only his own experiences but also reflecting on the style these players are coming across from- this article makes for thought provoking and excellent reading. His final quote sums up everything perfectly,
"It should be just as important to teams that a 16-year-old Dominican kid can read a book as it is that he can read a sign from the third base coach."
