Not much room for Canadians

From page 13

“The Canadian kids are getting
good training in some of the pro-
grams up here, like the B.C.
Selects, but without some experi-
-ence in the level played on the
U.S. college circuit, it’s pretty
hard to make it,’ he said.

One point of contention Shwery
‘has with the scouting system is the
_tule that Canadian players are

treated the same as players from
Latin America and Australia.

Each major-league team can
supply visas for up to 25 non-
American players,’ but the vast
majority of these go to players
from Latin America, home of

365-days-a-year baseball.

“Here we are with cities in our
country with teams in both the
leagues (Toronto in the American
league and Montreal in the Na-
tional), and our players are
treated as foreigners,’ Shwery
said. ‘‘!t’s damn unfair, that door
should be open for Canadian
kids.””

Another factor limiting a Ca-
nadian’s chances is the shrinking
size of the draft. In the past the
draft was close to 110 rounds.
This year it is 45 rounds. Shwery
said with the crop of talent at the
college level south of the border,
not much room will be left for
Canadians to make it onto rosters.
