    I just see that a lot of people already hate the guy.

    This is going to be a fun season.

    No hate here. It was just a dumb play.

    Bad call on getting thrown out at 3rd. But he is still a great base stealer.

    I think he could be a great addition and hope all of you haters have to eat crow.

    Its tough to condemn him on the missed sign, even though it seems like a huge bonehead move. These guys are all a little unsure about the Team USA signs, I think. There was an earlier moment in the game when Lindstrom was pitching and he hurled a 98 MPH fastball when Iannetta was expecting a curve. They were lucky it didnt get by and advance the runners.

    I'm just saying I'm not ready to call Taveras, a guy with 60 steals last year, a bad baserunner because of two gaffes in a WBC game.

    That was just my attempt at humor. I don't hate the guy.
    I'm not cool enough to have a good signature

    Dave Roberts and Terry Fancona disagree.

    There was only one out, but they knew that the catcher had a CANNON!!!!!

    Total stupidity at the time.

    It was a bonehead play that gets you the biggest fine in any Kangaroo Court.

    I don't put a great deal of stock into it at this point. In fact, I WANT him to come to Cincinnati ready to be aggressive, even if that means a few mistakes here and there.

    His legs will be fine. I'm much more interested in seeing what his OBP will be.

    Aggressiveness at the expense of outs on the basepaths will do this team no good! I want as few mistakes as possible... Hopefully it isn't a sign of things to come.

    Last year he stole 68 bases and was caught 7 times. Let's not get carried away by 1 play that happened before the season even started.
