Brandon Phillips WBC Team USA?
With Chase Utley being out until May, what's the chances of Brandon Phillips makes Team USA in the spring?

I had this disscussion on another baseball board. I put Pedroia ahead of him and Phillips backing him up.

A few games isn't going to wear him down. This isn't football.

I don't mind BP playing a few extra games, but it really made me mad when Griffey played in it a few years back.

Re: Brandon Phillips WBC Team USA?
The WBC is an entertaining event, andI wouldn't mind if phillips played because who knows, it could serve as a more effective spring training. However, If I was a manager/GM I would not allow any pitchers on my team to participate. It forces pitchers to get ready a month early and that is not worth the risk by any means.
