    2-10 weeks is kind of a huge difference. Nice reporting assholes. Lets just wait for the MRI.

    Stan Conte's evaluation of "2-10 weeks" means he's out for half the season.

    Isn't everything in the spring supposed to lead to the Dodgers? Who cares about this crappy excuse for a "World Champion"? Those other countries watch because it's better than any leagues they have because the world's best players are here.

    It's MLB's goal to build US national baseball pride. Who cares how it does in other countries? If it is a ploy to expand baseball, that's one thing. But nobody cares about it HERE, and that's context I'm speaking in. HERE.

    I don't mind WBC at all - I think it's a good thing. But it should be FINISHED by spring training.

    Honest question not meant to agonize anyone:

    Would you guys have the same reaction towards winter ball if Hanley, Cruz, and/or Adrian got injured in winter ball? Players usually take part in that shit in there countries and even in the Caribbean World Series. Now that shit is very unimportant in the US but a big deal in other countries, usually just to get some extra work in but it doesn't have any of the global appeal that WBC has.

    Just wondering, cause I've always thought about what if someone got hurt there, that'd suck but I mean these fucks get injured everywhere and anywhere and I guess getting playing time and improving helps but yeah.

    Then the owners need to take the collective step and say no and drop it.

    I hope no thinks I was saying he would be out for 10 weeks. I was only using that time line for illustration purposes.

    depends
    some teams encourage their players to play there to stay sharp and/or work on things
    but if the players' controlling mlb team says they want the player to rest, then they should rest
    if a player really wants to play for patriotic reasons that badly, fine... just give me the money back and play for your mlb team for free...

    Winter ball is more 'supplemental'. WBC is 'instead of' being with your team. So no, probably not the same.

    Ah I see, so what you think is wrong with WBC is more about time away from getting to be with teammates, rather than enhanced risk of injury?

    yes and no
    if they're going to risk injury it should be with the team paying them
    only fair since they're the ones assuming the financial risk

    I'd love to know how the risk of injury being increased by a miniscule extent, and a player being out of camp for two weeks outweighs the handful of obvious positives the tournament provides. And FWIW, nearly every single player who has spoke on it wishes ST were shorter, Brandon McCarthy last year said it should be 3-4 weeks max.

    So IF they player gained team permission (that you or I might not grant)
    And IF the player waived all or part of his upcoming MLB salary in order to play
    And IF they finished this WBC bullshit BEFORE the MLB spring season began...

    Then, and only then, would it be OK to let them participate in the WBC?

    That's about my stance...

    umm... because Brandon McCarthy's opinion as a sub.500 pitcher matters how?
