The WBC has players falling faster than prices at Wal-Mart. Kevin Youkilis now joins the list of injured with fellow teammate Dustin Pedroia, Chipper Jones, Ryan Braun & others.
Does this come as a surprise to anyone? Remember 2006 & Mike Timlin injuring himself in the WBC. He was never the same that whole year.
With only 2 weeks of Spring Training under their belts US baseball players ship out to play for various teams & a large number get injured. It's an honor to play for your country. However, the timing of the WBC works against the US players.
Let's hope that Dice-K remains healthy for the Japanese team.

The Sox are concerned about Dice K. The Japanese aren't keeping him on any kind of pitch count, and they have no idea how many pitched he has thrown. I do know he did 6 innings, 80 some odd pitches this last week. The Sox are not optimistic about Dice K beigh too productive for the 1st couple of months. Like I said a couple of weeks ago, this WBC should be abandoned. I don't care what Youk says. SB
