Re: World Baseball Classic 2013
Yes I agree it is similar to Winter League ball, but the mlb players of today do not frequent that league as much as they used too years and years ago. Many did ti as a supplemental income years ago. With salaries today for baseball they way they are not as many of them need to do it or want to do it. Yes I do know there are still quite a bit of players who do, do it. But usually its not the major stars. Usually its the prospects trying to hone in on there skills or the couple year in major league players trying to get better or keep there skills up to par.
Your not gonna find For Example - Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, David Ortiz, Derek Jeter, playing winter league at this point. But these are the guys who will be in the WBC.
What are you talking about? We do it all the time! 
Seriously, many foregn-born players, even major stars, have gone South to play Winter League ball after nearly every Major League season - and that's been going on for many, many years. Just like Winter ball, participation in the WBC is voluntary; unlike Winter ball, it's only a tournament, not a whole season of play, and it only comes around once every four years.
