I think that playing in the WBC is much better for the players than playing regular spring training games. The atmosphere, the in-game situations, the adrenaline. You don't get that if you stay in spring training. I'd guess you get ready quicker, as a player, playing in the WBC and playing games that matter.
I mean, the statistics don't count towards the MLB, but you can't tell me the USA team wasn't pumped up last night, playing an elimination game.
