Dorchester, Massachusetts — For a moment, Jeremy Peña is happy that the traffic rushing southbound on 93 drowns out the reporter’s question. It’s a question he’s heard before — one that every member of the New England National Baseball Team has heard before — and one that he’s sick of. No, he doesn’t know whether this version of the Lone Pines can stack up to the glory teams of the mid-to-late-90s; yes, he believes they have enough talent to compete for the World Baseball Classic title; no, the fact that they are once again using the batting cages at Boston Bowl in Dorchester as their primary training center will not have a negative effect on their preparations for the upcoming tournament — if it was good enough for Mo and Baggy back in the day, it’s good enough for him.
