WBC

Pedro Martinez ... hurt toe. Billy Wagner ... not in shape. Barry Bonds ... needs to nurse his knee. Vlad Guerrero ... well, he has a valid reason. If you are going to play in the WBC during March, maybe you should start getting ready for it before spring training. If the season starts around April 1st, but the WBC starts March 2nd, maybe, if I'm planning to play, I should get my butt in gear a month earlier than normal. Playing baseball is their job and they are compensated quite well. Is it too much to ask for them to stay in decent shape and be able to fulfill commitments if they make them?
