Thankfully,
only four players connected to the Red Sox will participate in the outrageously stupid World Baseball Classic. The tournament—which should be called the
World 'Destroy Your Career With A Devastating Injury' Classic—will feature only
Xander Bogaerts,
Shane Victorino,
Alfredo Aceves, and
Jose De La Torre from the Carmine Hose. The WBC rips a hole in the normal Spring Training routine, going from March 2nd to March 19th. And, you may recall that, while winning tournament MVP
twice,
Daisuke Matsuzaka was never the same after his participation in the bogus event. Hey, Bud, people around the world
already love baseball. Dump this thing, will 'ya?
