    Guys, please help me put together the perfect black baseball team...

    Here are the rules:

    I need a player at each position, and a DH.

    I need five starting pitchers, and a closer.

    They have to be current players on a major league roster.

    They have to be African-Americans. No fake blacks. Example: Torii Hunter would count, but David Ortiz wouldn't. Half blacks would count. Example: Derek Jeter.

    Thank you for your help.

    Guys, this is a serious thread.

    No time for any funny business.

    So far my rotation consists of David Price and CC Sabathia. I need three more starters.

    McCutchen counts. He will be our centerfielder.

    Cano? Come on, man. Read the rules.

    C=
    1B= Fielder
    2B=Phillips
    3b= H.Kendrick( sometimes he plays 3rd)
    SS=Jeter
    OF= Heyward,UPTONS,Kemp, Crawford
    DH= Weeks,A.Jones
    SP=J.Mcdonald,Jerome Williams,


    Can think of plenty of outfielders. Having trouble with pitchers off the top of my head other than what you metioned

    We can mix the black with white, but not with Spanish.

    My all-black fantasy league is very strict with their rules.

    Good stuff right here.

    I'm an Angels fan, and Howie never plays third. That isn't going to fly.

    Jerome Williams isn't a starting pitcher either.

    Everything else looks pretty good.

    Catcher will most likely be Russell Martin, based solely on default.

    Matt Kemp needs to be in your outfield somewhere.

    And I think I take Jeter over Rollins.

    I forgot about Edwin Jackson. He should make our five-man rotation.

    I can't think of any closers. Fernando Rodney doesn't count.

    Darren Oliver possible closer.

    He is 42, and still pretty decent.

    By the way those 4 starting pitchers are the only 4 black starting pitchers I could think of.
