World Baseball Classic
When does it start?

I assume there will be odds.

Will you play it?

Are you excited about it?

Who's the favorite? The Dominicans have an unbelieveable lineup!

Any other thoughts on it?

The excitement will arrive when the games are played. Pitchers and catchers don't report for spring training for almost another month so it is tough to get the mind all hyped up on baseball this early!

My thoughts without seeing final rosters is I like the Dominican Republc and Venezuela.

Will be fun to see some baseball anyways. Cuba might be a nice longshot also, at least to win a few games vs. disinterested teams.

U.S does not interest me at that price

I see they have Felix Hernandez too. He's a stud. Who is the best pitcher in baseball?
