En defensa de los nuestros

Leyendo el blog del reportero de ESPN Peter Gammons, me encontre con algo interesante. El reportero defiende Robinson Canó, David Ortiz y Alex Rodríguez por entrenar bajo la tutela de Angel Presinal. En este artículo veo una luz en el camino y que no todo está perdido. Aquí está un extracto de lo que dijo en su blog (en inglés):
"I do know why Robinson Cano and David Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez have come to Presinal's defense.
Go to the Olympic Stadium in Santo Domingo most every morning during the winter and there are 50, sometimes 100 players working out. True to the heart of the Dominican players, those who are paid high salaries pay for the stadium and the expertise of Presinal so the young kids making minor league minimums or those looking for independent league invitations can get the same experience as the guys with the coin.
Pedro Martinez once said, "The established Dominican players helped my generation -- it's up to us to do the same for the next generation."
Presinal kills them with sprints and shuttle runs and hurdles and 220-yard dashes. Martinez has always credited him with the greatest, most painful massages he's ever experienced. I don't know if Presinal got Gonzalez the steroids that were seized in Canada, but I have gone to the stadium with Pedro and Ramon Martinez and Juan Guzman and Stan Javier and more than 100 other players and believe that, at the worst, most of them were innocently training. Could Presinal have obtained illegal drugs for some of the rich clients? Of course. As the Daily News reported Sunday, if you have the money, you have the way".
