OK, serious question: Do we have any players left in our roster who:
1: Played regularly in the WBC
2: is not currently out of action with some kind of injury?
It's not like any of us didn't see it coming either. Youkilis and Pedroia got hurt DURING the Classic, and if anyone hasn't figured out yet that Daisuke was hiding a shoulder injury since at least mid 2008 they're blind. (Seriously, Dice, you've gone from throwing 94 to throing 84. GET THE SURGERY!!!!!)
I know, I know, national pride, MLB directives, yadda yadda, but when it has this much of an impact on your star players I can't imagine that the owners are happy right now. I doubt the MLBPA is exactly thrilled either. If they can't fix this soon they're going to have to go somewhere else for players.
