2009 World Baseball Classic Thread
Yeah I figure I'd make a separate thread for this so it doesn't get all lumped in with the offseason shit.

Anyway, some teams have already revealed their rosters, but the provisional 45-man rosters for all of the teams are set to be revealed at 6 PM EST today.

Pretty excited for it.

Its a cool concept but I never really got into any of the games 4 years ago. I do like the gear they put out though, might have to pick up a Team USA hat.

I'm going to Round 2 in Miami. Pretty pumped. A couple friends from work went last time and said it was better than a World Series game. The latino fans are insane.

I love the concept but I can't watch any baseball where the fans brings drums to the game. So fucking annoying. Also Jerry and Scott Hairston are playing for Mexico. Get the fuck out of here.

I am pretty excited to see that, judging by the Dominican's roster, Johnny Cueto and Edinson Volquez will be starting some games in the Classic. If the Dominican doesn't destroy everyone this year, they should be disbanded.

Their lineup is ridiculous. Carlos Pena-Placido Polanco-Jose Reyes-Aramis Ramirez is their B team infield.

Apparently Pujols isn't allowed to play because he had offseason surgery or something and it's against rules. Not the Cardinals' rules because they said they don't care. But yeah if he can't play even though he wants to and is able to, that's pretty gay.

Yeah the Dominicans are insane. I'm pretty excited about Team USA though, David Wright will likely be getting the starting nod now that A-Rod jumped teams.

What I wanna know is why so many people are worrying about their MLB players getting hurt (mainly pitchers). The only guy hurt in the 2006 Classic was Luis Ayala...I guess the only thing you could say is that players might strain themselves because they actually have incentive to win these games, but still...they have a shitload of regulations for pitchers.

I guess I can kinda understand teams like Mexico, Italy etc. stretching it to get players, since there isn't exactly tons of talent getting pumped out of those those countries but a guy like A-Rod playing for the DR is so stupid.

As for guys getting hurt, not a lot of guys did but I know some players didn't really have strong years/really slow starts after participating in the classic so I think that's more of the issue. It really changes the whole routine since its a very early start for MLB guys.

It would be a more compelling tournament if the league took a one-month break every four years and held it mid-season. That would never ever ever happen though.

As a Brewer fan, I'm not too thrilled at the prospects of Yo Gallardo being Mexico's ace less than a full year removed from ACL surgery, going into a season where he's going to be expected to be a top of the rotation starter. Whatever...at least I'm looking forward to Ryan Braun launching a few home runs.

The infield alignment is pretty much set, but any guesses on the outfield? I'm thinking Braun-Sizemore-Quentin, but then you're running the risk of your lineup being too right-handed, with Sizemore and McCann being the only lefties. I'd probably start Rollins over Jeter at short, but then you'd have all of New York and the majority of baseball writers up in arms. Still, even with Jeter at short the lineup looks pretty solid...my only concern is the lack of an obvious clean-up guy.

I remember the Mets came hot right out of the gate in 2006 when a lot of their lineup was in the classic, as is the case once again this year.

Realllly hope that's the case again this year. All indications are that they are not upgrading their offense...that lineup has won before, but it needs to not fail in the clutch for a 3rd straight season.

My canadians should be solid with Francis-Harden as our 1-2, Morneau, Votto, Martin hitting.

Dempster's not, either, from what I read.

Maybe they could let Stubby Clapp pitch. I have no idea if he's any good...I just love that name. It sounds like the name of a crappy wrestler bound to show up on ECW one day.

Doesn't help that you're in the same pool as the U.S. and Venezuela. At least you guys should beat Italy.

Pool A - China, Chinese Taipei, Japan and Korea, March 5-9 in Tokyo.
Pool B - Australia, Cuba, Mexico and South Africa, from March 8-12 in Mexico City.
Pool C - Canada, Italy, the U.S. and Venezuela, from March 7-11 in Toronto.
Pool D - Dominican Republic, the Netherlands, Panama and Puerto Rico, from March 7-11 in Puerto Rico

It's kind of weird that all four Asian countries would be in the same pool.

Was the draw seeded? Who was the top seeded team in Pool B, Australia, Cuba, Mexico? Eh.

Final rosters posted. Kinda underwhelming squads. USA might actually win this.

Thank the Baby Jesus Gallardo's not pitching for Mexico.

I'm thinking Japan repeats. Yu Darvish is going to go nuts.

I'm still not worried about Mets players getting injured. Hell, IIRC the Mets that went to the WBC in 2006 started the season off hot right out of the gate.

There wasn't a better reliever in the United States than LaTroy Hawkins? I find that hard to believe.

If we wanted someone to just serve up gopherballs we should've just made Eric Gagne a naturalized citizen and put him on Team USA.

Japan beat China 4-0

Yu Darvish went 4 innings with no hits and 3 K's. He is sick nasty

Every guy he strikes out in the WBC is going to earn him like $10 million on a contract when he finally gets posted. You know, assuming we'll still have a monetary system by then.
