A little Black Friday Bears football for us today. We’ll see how the team fares against the Eagles, but it’s going to be fun to see them in the spotlight. It’s hard not to enjoy the competitiveness of this team, regardless of what the advanced stats say about how well-earned their 8-3 record is …
Taiwan is reportedly trying to get Cubs prospect Jonathon Long to play for the team in the upcoming World Baseball Classic (I believe his mother is Taiwanese), which I really hope happens. There’s always a little risk when players go outside the org, but the upside of playing in high-stakes international competition, being around new and different players, learning about yourself and about the game, etc., etc. There can be so much developmental value there. I don’t want to overstate the parallel, but I’m reminded of Matt Shaw playing for Team USA last year, and getting a chance to kinda be thrown into the fire at third base. He barely had any experience there, and was still working at developing the skills. He came out of that experience with very high marks at the position, and then we saw how good he was this year at third base. Obviously Shaw put in a whole lot more work than the international games and practice, and he deserves the credit for making himself into a great defender at third. But I just wonder if the urgency of that international stage – and some new and different players and coaches to bounce off of – helped the process. From the team’s manager, Mike Scioscia, last year to the Japan Times:“I talked about our young players in this experience, and I don’t know if anybody benefited more than Matt Shaw did,” Scioscia said. “From when we started working out about a month ago in Arizona and where he ended up. He had the opportunity to work with two of the best infield coaches that we have in the United States — Dino Ebel and Keith Johnson. The work they put in with Matt — it paid off quickly. You saw him play great defensive third base in this tournament. It’s a newer position for him, but with the Cubs, I think that’s where they’re projecting him to play as he gets in the major leagues. On the defensive side, he improved so much in just one month.”
