But if Bobby tries to find a job in the NPB and is turned away, I honestly wouldn't be all that surprised if teams gave him the cold shoulder just because there was a possibility he might be managing the US team in 2013.<br /> <br /> I think one of the unfair advantages for the US is that most rival teams know so much about them because they have MLB players on their rosters. Getting Bobby on board for the US would help flip some of that against Japan. That’s what I’m guessing as well.

Mainly because at this point they're just media rumors, but like you wrote in your entry, 2013 is a long ways off.
