Swingandalongonetoleft Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) It will be interesting to see some of the names that leave the game in light of improved (blood) testing and the uncovering of (more) witch doctors such as the one in Miami.

Not really, but I just saw Canada and Mexico get into a huge bench-clearing brawl. GM's cringing all over baseball. I understand why they want to make the game more international, but for the American fan, I don't see the appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the first year they did this, the quality of play they're getting from the non-incredible teams is impressive. Whether we pay attention or not, it seems like the WBC is seriously helping improve international baseball and probably interest in baseball internationally as well.

Kind of true, but look at the Italy roster. Most aren't Italians, but Americans with Italian descent. The brawl is the biggest attention the WBC is going to draw.
