Two Different Takes on the World Baseball Classic

I'm enjoying it. I've watched more games than in years past. I've been following Manny and AJ for the most part. If there weren't any Orioles playing, I not care so much. I think they should make sure at least a few players from each team play to keep interest.

I also enjoyed the WBC. This was actually the 1st time I watched games without caring who was on the team, or what teams were playing each other.. it was the competition that intrigued me.

I can't agree with the latter portion of your post. While I'm too lazy to look it up, I would think that every MLB team has a representative playing on one of the WBC teams. If not, forcing someone to be represented from each team (MLB only?) would cause them to change it to the World Participation Classic.

Also, keep the WBC at 3-4 years minimum. Why water it down to the point it becomes uninteresting? NFL games are on 3-4 nights a week. It's gotten so watered down, the NFL is thinking of scaling back.
