DHG: My point is more that the words of I or any other person outside of MLB should hold absolutely no weight in what someone I have no real personal connection to decides to do or not do.

Me saying John Danks shouldn’t play in the WBC is the equivalent of John Danks saying I shouldn’t ever write for an outlet besides the one you’re reading right now.

(For the record, and for entirely selfish reasons, I’m with Rex: I don’t want Quentin playing unless he’s 100% healthy. Harden, however, is free to try his hand at being a hero.)

See, you condemn people for having opinions on this yet you do so in the form of an opinion – what gives? You really want Quentin hurt again? You think we stand a chance without Danks? I love baseball too, but, neither are worth the risk and I’m glad John said no.

Oh, almost forgot. Phil Rogers reminds us of Charlie Hough breaking his finger doling “soul” shakes to friends.

Nice work. I think the point of my article though was to show the varying opinions of the event and debate its success.

The only players I want to take a pass are the players that are injured or coming off a recent injury (Harden, Gallardo, and yes even Quentin).
