Talk:The WBC, Why didn't we think of this before?/@comment-101807-20060315140830

Maybe, but nobody&quot;s really pulling out this year because of fatigue. It&quot;s because of fear. In November, most players will have had a month off to rest up and deal with their inuries. Maybe you lose some of the Championship and World Series players, but that would still leave most teams with a lot more options, particularly with pitchers. But you&quot;re right that no time is perfect. I imagine that eventually the WBC will be for baseball players what the World Cup is for soccer players: a HUGE F*CKING DEAL that they wouldn&quot;t miss unless they had to. And oddly enough, the WC is held after Premiership/Bundesliga/Serie A etc... seasons end.
