There Are No Ants In Paul Rutgers Pants

Yeah, this is my client…

Who said the Dynasty boys can’t dance?  While Paul’s South Africa team was knocked out of the WBC in the first round, Paul showed his skill on the field and at the plate.  Even in the warm-up games to the WBC against MLB teams, Paul impressed the commentators.  Go ahead and add Paul on MySpace.

Do the guys playing in the WBC get paid? A couple of us were sitting around wondering about this since these guys were not at Spring Training with their “parent” clubs, and probably not being paid by their organization during this time.

The players on the South African team were not payed for paying in the WBC. The funds received went toward developing (and enhancing) baseball programs in South Africa.

What about players from other teams? Are the guys who are missing time from their respective organizations Spring Training still receiving compensation from the parent club, the WBC, or the country that they are playing for?

I really do not know the answer to your question about other teams. Each team that represents a country is autonomous and have different methods of compensation (if any).
