Cleveland Indians star CF, Grady Sizemore will miss the World Baseball Classic because of a sore groin. Sizemore will be replaced by the “Flyin Hawaiian” Shane Victorino. It is pretty clear that Team USA’s strategy in the World Baseball Classic is to win with speed, defense and a solid bullpen
In my opinion, if I had to pick one OF to start my team with it would be Sizemore. So this is a big blow to Team USA. In my “Looking At Team USA’s Roster” post, I believed Sizemore would bat leadoff and play CF for Team USA. Curtis Granderson would seem to be the likely choice to replace Sizemore in both CF and in the lead off spot.
