Re: O's want Guthrie back from Classic
The WBC really does complicate things for teams with pitchers in the competition. The Reds for instance have a new catcher, Ramon Hernandez, and with him, Volquez and Cueto all spending some time in the classic it really might have an effect on the start of the season since they have been limited in the time they could work together. Other pitchers, veterans, go out and try new things when the season is still in practice mode. Then you have the potential that a pitcher could get off his mechanics and a new pitching coach might not detect anything to be amiss leaving a problem for his actual coach to fix when he comes back.
I know I agree with you reefer, when the Reds got back their two pitchers I was pretty happy about it. I don't know if I would feel differently if they were pitching for the USA though.
