World Baseball Classic
I'm not following the WBC for several reasons. I don't care much for it. I'm not a big fan of nationalism, and there are elements of artificial teamwork in piecing a "team" together made from players who haven't played with each other. Baseball, more than other sports, has a greater element of any team being able to beat any other team on any given day. That is the strength of Major League Baseball. A 162 game season and seven game playoff series to separate the men from the boys.
It's really no big surprise that Team USA was eliminated. Any team could be eliminated on any given day. I'm not much for low numbers in elimination, so for Little League, college and Olympic baseball, a winner doesn't mean as much.
Now if MLB uses the WBC as a tool for scouting and drafting future talent, then I'm all for it.

Hey, since you are a big baseball fan maybe you would want to join my free roto league. I have 5 spots out of ten so far. I am also trying to get my bro-in-law involved. He's a Giants fan. Here is the info. It's an autodraft league, so you won't have to spend more than 30 minutes drafting your team.
It's on Yahoo's fantasy
