A few points...

A few things i wanted to say...

Firstly, I have to totally agree with Richard...it's great to see A-Rod getting back into the WBC. The more stars play in this tourney, the more credibility it has, and the more likely we are to see this repeated as a regular event - that can only be good for the worldwide image of the game

Secondly, anyone else wondering what is going on with the Astros and Bagwell? If he doesn't play again, it is said that the Astros can pick up around $15M from insurance ... in an era of dwindling player loyalty, are the Astros giving Bagwell too long to get back? Should they bring this situation to a head now, and get that $15M to be used elsewhere in the payroll rather that wait and hope they might get Bagwell back sometime during the season?

Thirdly, i'd be interested to hear how people keep up to date with the game during the winter? Personally, i usually keep up to date via MLB.com, and by checking out the five forums, Baseball Fan site, etc ... however, i'm quite into MLB Radio's podcasts - just download the archives, and pop them onto your mp3 player ... excellent!
