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.

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 AustraliaAngel Hawker - December 8, 2006

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!!!!!!

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".Caseys Kiss of Death - December 8, 2006
It's on the
Hudler page as well. I saw that the other day and about choked on some skittles!ineptituderunsamok - December 8, 2006
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...Bilko 420 - December 8, 2006

Join the fun, ladybug -- I hear the Hudler entry is up for grabs?Bilko 420 - December 8, 2006
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.Caseys Kiss of Death - December 9, 2006
OCab and Morales
Colombia and Cuba.Caseys Kiss of Death - December 8, 2006
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".Stirrups - December 8, 2006
