World Baseball Classic returns to haunt

I hate, hate, hate this. Giants' catcher Buster Posery (of 2016 back, hand and fatigue injury issues) has committed to play for USA. Why??? The potential for screwing up the entire season is enormous.

Other players who have committed:

Chris Archer (Rays)
Max Scherzer (Nationals)
Nolan Arenado (Rockies)
Adam Jones (Orioles)
Andrew Mccutcheon (Pirates)

More to come
