You give Castro more currency by exclusion than inclusion.
Let them come over here, take their ass whuppin' like men and leave a few of the young diamonds behind for Messrs. Steinbrenner, Moreno, et al.

On the field, I worry more about the Dominicans and the Peurto Ricans, not so much on better playing ability or depth, but on playing more for the name on the front of the jersey than the name on the back. For national pride, we may pull a Dream Team III or IV instead of Dream Team 1.
Good way to kick off the season maybe keep the focus on the field instead of all the off-field nonsense that bored media types can conjure up during the normal spring training lull.
USA..USA..USA.
