It's already been said, but ANYBODY but frost. Seriously. Rather have mark wilson play than frost.

Mark Wilson's Two MC Picks
- Thread starter Wedge
- Start date
I like Skyler's game a lot, but I think the obvious choice for the 5th spot is Rodney. Yea, he had a bit of an attitude during his last MC trip (and that may be understating it a bit), but there was a ton of negative energy emitted from other team members and the negative momentum just took off. I think being surrounded by a much more positive group (which I believe this will be) will keep Rodney more calm and allow him to just play his game.
Bergman yes. Sky's not ready. I have way more confidence is Justin Hall just because I know what he's capable of and he's proved it. His game fits a shot clock, he has experience. He's more of a team player that Sky.
But yes, he's low on the points board. But still he's got experience and will not crack under pressure.
Sky will get his chance, but it shouldn't be this year.
We will see if Mark has the courage to use his picking authority and not simply go by points.

I can assure you this is not a courage battle.
What I was trying to say is there was a bunch of second guessing and criticism directed towards Mark about not picking Dechaine last year. I think most people think that was a mistake.
So I just hope Mark doesn't take the easy way out and pick on points.
It would take balls on his part to pick Scott or to pick Justin Hall.

Thank you. That should have been the lineup last year. Hall hasn't had the best showing this year but last mosconi cup he was their strongest player In my opinion

I don't see how Frost is even in the conversation and I like him but he's just not a top tier rotation player period

I have no clue why he would even consider taking Scott to play at the MC? I don't think his record on big table rotation events warrants a consideration for the MC this year. He's a great player, but there are several players in my opinion that would be much better fits for this format than Scott.
Agree, but others were saying Scott. Scott would be a great team mate and some think he might be to answer.
Scott Frost playing BONUS BALL was a touch bossy with Tommy Kennedy, his teammate. I get what your saying, Sort of agree but I just don't think he's the piece to the puzzle
To my knowledge, alot has been going on for Hall this year that's taken him away from being able to focus on pool this year. He missed a few MC point events and that reflects in his low points-standing.
I'm a big J. Hall fan - just adding some new info to the mix. I think he was the strongest MC player last year and I'd take him over Rodney or Sky or Scott.

I think Oscar should play, and Sky should be invited as a "non-playing" team member.
The courage nonsense and the 'easy way out' nonsense is ridiculous. Mark Wilson is the captain and he will pick who he believes will gives us the best chance to win. His opinion of who is ready is the only opinion that counts. Your opinion that Skylar is not ready doesn't mean he's not ready and doesn't mean it would be a bad choice. After all, in the system they set up to choose the team, Skylar out performed your choices. Your thoughts are simply your opinion.
Mark's counts. Yours doesn't.
Putting some kind of "I know better than Mark" arrogance on this topic is laughable. He was chosen for the job. You weren't.
If you get chosen you'll have your chance.
I saw Skylar defeat both Morris and Archer on a big table in June. I saw Skylar show a tremendous amount of fight and heart in his match with Oscar. He won a big table Tmnt in Texas. He out performed all but 3 players in the point race. Don't let the facts interfere with your opinion.
Just to be clear, I think all the remaining choices are qualified and worthy selections and I trust Mark's judgement.

I was watching that when my daughter stopped to watch for a few minutes and said "why is that big guy being mean to that little guy?"
Then you should never mention Frost!
If a plane carrying the 5 best US players crashed, Frost still shouldnt be mentioned.
Skylar or Hall
Anyone else weakens the team. Both guys would play well and be good additions to the team.

Apparently a number of posters have no clue about Rodney's last appearance at the Mosconi Cup. Might want to ask Barry Hearn if Rodney will ever be allowed to play in another one.
it was my understanding that Mark took this position immediately following Mosconi Vegas 2013, under the premise of CHANGE, and ETHICS. while BH will undoubtedly have the override on the 2 unannounced wildcards, i'm sure that they should meld with Mark's choices.
I get you. You keep it real and go hard on the internet no matter what. You are a no nonsense kind of salt of the earth business man. You struggle when it comes to negotiations and marketing. But you are in there swinging for the fences. You aim to throttle.
Regarding Justin Hall, he has tremendous experience in that level of grease and preformed very well his rookie year. That's the basis for my opinion.
Skylar might shine under the bright lights his debut year. But his cue might get heavy like many other first timers.
