Sometimes, with Ozzie and others, the message gets lost with the messenger.
If your son has been around Milb, with Asian and Latin players, one could see there is some validity in some of the points being made.
One point Ozzie made that is not being highlighted in the message is that American and Asian players are being drafted or signed when they are 21-23 years old.
That is rare for a Latin player.
Don't agree with everything Ozzie says and have some doubts about the "why." But his views and thoughts have some merit in terms of the way things have evolved in Milb.
For anyone who has not seen it, before you condemn Ozzie, see the movie "Sugar." Pretty well done movie on Milb, presented from the perspective of a Latin.
