Trivia Question

Bullpen coach Orlando Mercado and Catcher Jose Molina are both from Puerto Rico, but Orlando's playing days are behind him, making Jose the only Puerto Rico-native palyer on the current Anegl squad.

QUESTION:
Which other two current Angel players are the sole representatives on the team from their native countries?

Without cheating...
Now, does this refer to the entire 40-man?  Assuming so, then:

I'm pretty sure Bobby Wilson is from Australia, so I'll say him.

And isn't Orlando Cabrera from Panama?  I'm sure that would make him the lone representative of that nation.

My picks are Bobby Wilson and OC.

Also not cheating.......OC is from Colombia not
Panama.......Kendry Morales is from Cuba....so ill take Kendry Morales and Orlando Cabrera.
Without Cheating
I think it's not Bobby Wilson, it's Michael Collins who is from Down Under...he was the Quakes cathcer last year and he played in the World Baseball Classic for Australia
Isnt Izturis also from Venesuela?????
I remember reading about him and Ceaser living in Venesuela when they were small.....they had differnt moms but lived 2 blocks away from eachother.....they attended different schools and played for different little league teams.

wait but KRod is from there too........so they both rep Venesuela!!!!!!

Morales=Cuba
Cabrera=Colombia
Rodriguez/Izturis=Venesuela

Rivera
is also Venezulean.
is that next to Romulan?
Also
Izturis.
Bobby Wilson should sue wikipedia
if you are right about his citizenship.

Cabrera and Morales (Colombia and Cuba)

Lotsa Venezuelans (Kelvim, Juan Rivera, Frankie, Izzy)

Nah
just get an account and fix it.
look up
jose molina and tell me i need an account
Hahaha
Brilliant.  I was tempted to identify you by name in the picture, but I recaptioned the photo to say "pictured with Rex Hudler and a fan".
It's on the
Hudler page as well. I saw that the other day and about choked on some skittles!
Dude, that is a funny picture...
Seriously, it's a good shot.  Some of us are now having a field day with the caption however...
now THAT's FUNNY
THIS is why I like this group!!
Total Madlibs
Join the fun, ladybug -- I hear the Hudler entry is up for grabs?
Who done it?:
Angels broadcaster Rex Hudler (L) and Puerto Rican born catcher Jose Molina (R) pose with a deranged and unnaturally blonde fan during Angels FanFest, February 2005. Players who are not superstars and/or broadcasters with short-term contracts are wise -- though not obligated -- to avail themselves to such team promotional events.
OCab and Morales
Colombia and Cuba.
Yeah, Morales @ Cuba. Good spot.
My other choice would be GMJ. He's from the sole rep from the foreign land commonly known as "San Francisco".
Without Looking
GA and John Lackey

Casey Kotchman = Florida, I think Fort Lauderdale
Kendry Morales = Cuban Defector, now Dominican
Howie Kendrick = Georgia/Florida
Orlando Cabrera = Colombia
Figgins = Florida
D-Mac = Georgia or one of the Carolina's, USA
Maicer Izturis = Venezuela?  Unsure
Quinlan = USA
