Look out, world: Bryce Harper told Ken Rosenthal on Monday that he plans on playing in the 2017 World Baseball Classic:
"In four years, absolutely I want to play, 100 percent. They can write my name down right now. ... I’m all for USA. I’m all for playing in the WBC and the Olympics, whatever. This year was just hard."
(Bryce Harper, via FOX Sports.com, 3/9/2013)
Harper's Tweets over the last couple of days were a tip-off that he's into this WBC thing:
Don't forget, screaming at the TV while doing his 2,000 piece puzzle and in between doing some tweeters!
Does he verbally chant #USA #USA #USA or just Tweet that.
Note to Under Armour for a new patriotic commerical!

Forget 2017. Why isn't he there now?
And how did they pick Hosmer over LaRoche? Hosmer got abused last night, and isn't nearly the glove LaRoche is.

So he says he wants to work on communication with Span. OK, there would still be time before the season, and 162 games in season.
Mike Trout really has no excuse. Or Ryan Howard. Or Clayton Kershaw. Or Justin Verlander. Or Cole Hamels. Or Cliff Lee. Seems like a lot of missing talent out there.
