Walking Off the Island
Dan Fox at The Hardball Times, inspired by the Larry Krueger/Felipe Alou controversy, does an excellent historical study on the offensive trends of Caribbean players over the last 50 years. The bottom line is while they have not caught up to non-Caribbeans in walks, less strikeouts and more hits put them ahead of non-Caribbeans in terms of overall production, especially when you add in the fact these players are manning the tougher defensive positions.
