Message #1668 of 6634  *NEW* To :   Anonymous From :   drrubb   Subject :   Re: Smoltz plans to skip the WBC Date :   1/11/06, 6:09am I believe the reason a lot of these major league stars skip these kind of things is because the major league season is already long enough. Between Spring training, the regular season, & the playoffs, any given player could end up playing near 200 baseball games from early March to early October. There is already a great workload on them. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1668 • Back to Topics 3716 reads

As a team owner, I would be concerned about the possibility of my players getting injured. As a player, I think I would love the competition, which would prove to be a much more effective (and exciting) spring training for me... • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1671 • Back to Topics 3715 reads
