hno: Who knows, I lost track of all the last minute drop outs. Venezuela has a strong staff and a good balanced lineup...well for now on paper.
Projected Lineup:
RF Bobby Abreu
DH Richard Hidalgo
3B Miguel Cabrera
C Victor Martinez
LF Magglio Ordonez
1B Ramon Hernandez
2B Tomas Perez
CF Endy Chavez
SS Omar Vizquel
Projected starting pitchers: Johan Santana, Freddy Garcia, Kelvim Escobar
They also have Felix Hernandez and Gil Chacin, but can't tell if they are on the roster. K-Rod is there to close down games too. Very solid squad.

I would like to speak for Americans everywhere. We do not need dis-interested highly overpaid stat builder losers on our team, when possible. Like our basketball and hockey olympic teams lately. Great names, no results. We need better. We need people witha heart who care. Not to mention who can produce under pressure.
So I am very, very strongly proposing a trade. The USA trades Alex Rodriguez to the Dominican Republic for David Ortiz. Would anyone here or any official baseball MVP voters from last year who voted for Gay Rod actually object to that trade?
If so, I guess they got the DR on the money line

The Classsic is rigged for the US squad to get a free pass to the semis and even then, the best team they may have to play is Mexico, Japan, Canada. US won't have to play DR, Cuba, Venezuala until the finals at earliest which is a joke. US probably only 4th best team in this tournament.
