Some Nasty Rosters

Let’s talk World Baseball Classic.

Looking at the WBC Rosters particularly the South American Teams i’m seeing some of the nastiest rosters I’ve seen in a while.

There are going to be some intense games going on particularly in Group D when we get to see Panama vs the Dominican Republic likely Monday unless Puerto Rico manages to upset Panama or unless a real miracle happens and the Dutch manage to upset the Dominican.

Bernie Williams fans will be able to watch him on Team Puerto Rico. I hope he does well, he is a class act.

Japan’s defeat of China was not a big surprise today, China able to hold Japan to 5 hits is.

It will take a real miracle for Cuba or Mexico to fail to get to the 2nd round sharing a bracket with South Africa and Australia. Australia would like to think otherwise but sorry that’s the way it is.

I would love to see the US and Italy advance in group B. I can’t however see how Italy avoids going 0-3 in the toughest bracket in the group. I’d really like to see the US step all over Hugo’s boys.

I’d be even happier if some of Raul/Fidel’s boys manage to jump the fence during the tourney.

Play Ball!
