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.

What, no mention of Glen Perkins aside those names?

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?

[ImTellinTim]

The WBC includes the DH, correct?

Joe Nathan declined his invite.
