PostSportsPlus: Francisco Lindor knows what the World Baseball Classic is missing, but it won’t be easy to get it
Francisco Lindor was a shortstop for Team Puerto Rico and also an unofficial ambassador for the World Baseball Classic.
The only non-American starter who received a Cy Young vote and did not participate was Framber Valdez, who wanted to but was encouraged by the Astros not to do so. Valdez led the AL in innings last year , and added 25 more in the postseason as the Astros won the World Series.1. Concern about the quick ramp-up and delivering of high-intensity innings before the season even begins.
Lindor was speaking on March 22, eight days before the regular season begins. He felt that would have allowed players dealing with minor injuries to begin the spring to play — he mentioned, for example, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Starling Marte for the Dominican Republic. Of course, the flip side is players who incur injuries early in the spring would be lost.
For example, several Mets people called for the tournament to be held in November in the aftermath of Edwin Diazcelebrating a Team Puerto Rico win over the Dominican. The theory would be that a player could heal from an injury in time to miss fewer regular-season games — or none at all.
