CWS is on FSN right now...the only reason I post it on AN is that I just watched Durazo crush a 2-run homerun for Mexico.  So, 1) you can get 1/9th of your A's baseball fix before the season starts, and 2) I wonder why some players do better when they take time off and others do better when they do winter ball.  Maybe it doesn't even matter, player perceptions just depend on how they do during the season, when they attribute their performance to whatever they did or didn't do during the offseason?
