However, Noel spent the entire season on the DL, leaving Simon as the only Haiti-born player to play on U.S. soil last year. Sorry if my phrasing wasn't entirely clear, but I was just trying to point out how few baseball players come from Haiti. This despite the fact that it shares the same island as the Dominican Republic, which produces more baseball players per capita than anyplace.
