U.S. should have world-class WBC pitching staff
Thirteen pitchers eligible to play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic received points in Cy Young voting. That, sports fans, should largely be the pitching staff for the team Joe Torre will manage. Imagine a starting rotation of R.A. Dickey,...
