That was a very good play. What I don’t get is why Cole Hamels and Brad Lidge turned down the World Baseball Classic. They could have been very valuable pieces.

That was definately a very good play on Utley’s part. Shows that his head is in the game.
Now, as for why Cole Hamels and Brad Lidge turn down the invites from te US team for the World Baseball Classic, I honestly have no clue. I’m sure they have their reason and will therefore give them the benefit of the doubt.
