After some thought, I'm fine with the pitching limits, not so sure about the mercy rules (why stop in the middle of an inning?) and don't understand the whole professional players thing. 14 from an organziation or 10 from a team's active roster or DL? HUH? |

Pitch limits don't bother me. I don't like the mercy rules, though. As for the pro players bit, I think the WBC is trying to limit the number of MLB players playing in the Classic in order to let other countries a chance to show what they've got. After all, it is the World Baseball Classic, not the MLB Classic. |

Well yeah, but you also have pros in Japan and such too. I'm just not sure what they mean by 14 from an organization or 10 from the active roster or DL...wouldn't that just make it 10 regardless anyways? Or what am I missing? |
