Asdrubal Cabrera hits for the cycle with this fantastic jeremiad against being left off of Venezuela's WBC roster, indicting Team Venezuela GM (and "[person]") Carlos Guillen while mostly giving a pass to the team's manager, Omar Vizquel “I will not participate in the World Baseball Classic because Carlos Guillen is the least serious and most deceitful [person] that may exist,” Cabrera said, according to a rough translation of remarks reported by ESPN. “What a shame that Omar Vizquel, with all the respect he deserves, is accepting all this scoundrel-ness.” http://nypost.com/2017/02/09/asdrubal-c ... ble-cross/ While those words may seem inadvisably impolitic, New York Post scribe Jonathan Lehman reports, that Cabrera was warned. He was given an explanation. Nevertheless, he persisted.
