Point taken regarding winter ball. I still think he & the Reds would benefit from him being in spring training as opposed to him being involved in the WBC. He's not even close to the same level as guys like Ortiz or Pujols or Griffey for that matter.

...and I really doubt that WMP's playing in the WBC is the reason why Krivsky brought in Hatteberg.

No, but it does give Krivsky the ability to move WMP, or Narron the ability to bench him.
