🧵Some Team Korea notes at #WorldBaseballClassic the major early storyline has been the presence of U.S.-born players with Korean mothers: Shay Whitcomb, Jahmai Jones and Dane Dunning. Both Whitcomb and Jones homered in the win over Czechia. Dunning will get a start soon.

Ultimately, I do think Korea is good enough to qualify for the quarterfinals. With Australia having won its first game, the second seed behind Japan will likely come down to the Korea-Australia game on Monday.

Of course, this is all assuming that Korea will lose to Japan and then beat Chinese Taipei to go into that Monday game with a 2-1 record, and that Aussies will also lose to Japan but beat Czechia to also go 2-1 before Monday. As they say, anything can happen!

Very nice of @sportsnetkyle to give me a shoutout on 32 Thoughts from Milan. That's one of the big highlights of my career! 😀 Kyle was super nice when we chatted a couple days ago at the hockey arena. Never imagined I'd get mentioned on the podcast. So floored...

Sung-Mun Song just had a Zoom presser with #Padres media and some Korean journos, joined by A.J. Preller and Craig Stammen as well. Found it interesting that Stammen mentioned the possibility of playing Song in the outfield, though he's never played there in his KBO days.

Earlier, Stammen cited the Dodgers as an example of a championship team that has "parts that are movable," using Kike, Rojas and Edman all over the field. "And we see (Song) as being able to do that, to play third base, second base, some first base, maybe some outfield."

Stammen then said, "When our big boys need a little bit of a blow, he can fill in at third base and play Major League-caliber third base really easily. Gve Manny DH days and we have two productive hitters in the lineup."
