"You go over to Latin America and you could buy a guy for $5,000. That's the same guy from Compton, who you get in first round for a million dollars out of high school," Hunter said. Torii told FSR's Andrew Siciliano that its all about the bottom line. "It's a business thing. You can go to Latin America and get the same talent as a black player in Compton. But that black player from Compton is going to be $2 million. If he doesn’t pan out, then they're going to be out $2 million. You go to the Dominican or Cuba and you get a guy for $2,000, then you are only out $2,000." "I think that it’s a business thing, not a race thing. Because it happens to African Americans, then it becomes a racial thing. I do agree that ten years from now you are going to see no blacks (in MLB)."
