    Re: 2013 World Baseball Classic Team USA Roster

    Lol it's crazy when you see how many players aren't from America, and what we're left with for the WBC. Our pitching should be pretty good. If they get warm early, the bats could be pretty effective.

      Dickey/Vogelsong/Medlen/Holland isn't that bad. Too bad Kershaw didn't want to participate.

        If our all best players played, the team would look better.

          Man...that bullpen is insane.

          Kimbrel, Medlen, Perez, Pestano and Affeldt. That's almost lights out there. Too bad Heath Bell had to screw it all up.

          This team should be damn fun to watch.

              Must have glossed right over his name.

              Add him to the list. Add Gregerson to the list too.

              In fact....looking at the relievers...why the hell is Heath Bell on the team?

                The WBC includes the DH, correct?

                  Don't forget Steve Cishek from Miami...2.57 ERA and 1.2 WHIP in his first 3 seasons in the big leagues.

                  Greggorson has been a dominant reliever in SD as well

                  I really like the lineup...Stanton, Braun, and Wright in the middle of the order.

                    It should be fun, but I hope these guys are ready come April.

                      Half the teams have a DH, I believe. I looked at a few teams, and some didn't have any DHs listed.

                        *looks at Team Canada's roster*

                        1. I count 4 legit position players (Justin Morneau, Brett Lawrie, Russell Martin, Michael Saunders). I hope the Joey Votto cloning experiment at Department H is going well.

                        2. I count... zero legit starters. Good to see that Dempster is now 3-for-3 in WBC snubs.

                        3. No Stubby Clapp? How are we going to combat Willie Bloomqvist and his +5 grittiness now?

                          I really like this team. Seems that we are going with a balanced attack this year. Wish Tulowitzki would've been cleared to play.

                              Can you imagine if the phenoms played? Trout, Harper, Strasburg, etc.

                              The more I think about it, I think the USA could win. Either them or Venezuela.
