When the prevailing attitude among fans from Caribbean Confederation nations is a defeated shrug and saying, "just make it a 7-game series between USA & Japan," you no longer have a celebrated international tournament, #MLB. What you now have with the #WBC is a sham parading as one. Congrats.

Didn't sign with the Dodgers, became UDFA with PHI 5 years later, pitched to 5.36 ERA in two years at A/A+, spent last year in Indy ball with two different clubs at age 26. Presumably, he'll be 27 in High-A or AA this season. That's quite a journey. #SFGiants
