At least this means we watch Polanco run around like a baby giraffe in LF.

I'd be more excited, if he were playing RF for another team.

Could the PG have used a more appropriate photo for that tweet? Its like they snapped it the moment Cutch was told he was moving to right.

They could have used a photo of him chasing after a ball rolling towards the CF wall.

Clutch did something very classy after the announcement came out. He tweeted a photo of Clemente, back to the camera, standing in right field. As if to say "If it's good enough for Clemente, it's more than good enough for me."

Whatever he has to tell himself. Clemente's d would have been wasted in pnc's rf, cutch is being hidden there.

My kids are happy that Cutch is still on the Pirates' roster. I'm not sure he'll be on there much longer, but I haven't told them that....
Speaking of spring training, we'll be 90 minutes from Pirate City on Friday (after a week of Orlando-area shenanigans). I am trying to get my wife to head over to Bradenton for a few hours that day. I know there won't be games yet, but is the Pirate City complex open to the public during those days? What's the crowd level/parking situation?

Maybe it was because of the strike, but I'm going to admit that I have no recollection of Luis Tiant being a Pirate.

That's as logical as the DH, do nothing would surprise me.

a lot of travel tournaments do this. It's called the California rule or something. They need to keep on a schedule though to keep the brackets moving. The MLB does not, so - SAD!

Is there a pronounced lack of participation this year, or am I mistakenly underwhelmed by these rosters?

Solid back to back posts ulf and the loney here.
1.) That 2nd base rule sucks and there is no need to explain why it sucks. Might as well make it PSL softball and start with a 1-1 count
2.) The WBC rosters are a bit thin. If the United States had its true pitching staff, they would demolish everyone. No Kershaw, Arrieta, Sale, Hendricks, Kluber, Scherzer or Baumgarner. Actually, if you look at the guys that finished in the top 10 in the AL and the top 10 in the NL in Cy Young voting, only Cuteo, JA Happ, Andrew Miler, and Michael Fulmer are playing.
That being said, some great, fabulous names littered throughout these rosters. Chris Leroux? Bruce Chen? Ernesto Frieri? JC Romero? How fat and washed up will the Canadian pitching staff be? Jason Marquis is jewish? Jason Marquis can still pitch? So many questions.
Also, one of Kenny the kangaroo's teammates from high school and legion ball is playing for the Italians. Note: Kenny the kangaroo is not from Italy.

The US pitching staff definitely stood out to me.

Israel has one player who was even born in Israel.

About the second base thing. I always feel like MLB's solution to what they see as a problem is the dumbest/weirdest idea they can come up with.

Seeing Ike Davis's name on Israel's roster spurred up a bit of anger. Since its a slow day on 5af (except for the political thread, of course), Kenny the kangaroo will attempt to spur discussion by posting a personal least favorite pirates starting 9
C-Rod Barajas
1B-Ike Davis (Tough choice over many, many yuge pieces of crap)
2B-Jose Castillo
SS-Clint Barmes
3B-Chris Stynes
OF-Lastings Milledge
OF-Steve Pearce
OF-Brandon Moss
P-Kip Wells
No question that first base has the most unlikable players.

How It All Went Wrong For Lastings MilledgeLastings Milledge
A sheet of notebook paper, with the words, “Know your place, Rook … signed, your teammates,” was taped over Lastings Milledge’s locker in the Mets’ clubhouse in old RFK Stadium. This, in the late summer in 2006.

- Remember when Kip Wells hit that 450+ foot jack at PNC? Only good moment of his career.
- Jung Ho goes to trial on February 22nd.
We have a time range on this most hated starting 9?

Kenny the kangaroo was at the game when wells dropped that bomb. Pretty sure it was against the dodgers, and it hit the batter's eye in center.
No time range on the most hated 9. Kenny the kangaroo came of age in the 2000s. Young kangaroo was too naïve to hate pirates in the 90s
