Theo Epstein may not look like much, standing in the box with his sneakers and pullover. Actually, the way he’s choked up makes him look more like David Eckstein. Or, given that how he drove this BP fastball from Ryan Dempster — who’s using Spring Training to prepare to pitch for Team Canada in the World Baseball Classic — maybe we should liken the Cubs’ baseball boss to Rajai Davis.
Demp looks to be in good shape and the familiar glove-waggling windup is there, but I’m not sure getting tagged by the team’s top exec is a harbinger of good things to come in the WBC.
