Perhaps participating in the WBC will allow his arm to be at its most potent. I realize I'm in the minority here; but, I just don't see the correlation between playing in the WBC and injury. If someone gets hurt, they were likely to get hurt anyway, IMO.

I'm a big believer that all they really need to do is have TRUE revenue sharing. I'm just going off of memory - but I think the last labor agreement only had 30%. This really needs to be at 50% - and for ALL Revenues, including local TV & radio contracts (which I don't believe are currently included). If MLB would do that, the Yankees would still have an advantage (50% of 500 if more than 50% of 50) - but not nearly as great as now. Costas even mentioned this in his book Fair Ball - really, the small market teams should simply not let the Yankees or Red Sox local TV/radio crews plug in/set up when at their parks. That would change things in a hurry. Do that (as well as get another team in NY), and the big market teams would feel the pain of their management mistakes a lot more than they currently do, & I don't think there would be a need for a Salary cap.
