The Real USA Olympic Baseball Team

TruthBTold · Aug 22, 2008

If Olympics used real Major Leaguers who would be your starting line up?

Pitcher- Brandon Webb

1st - Ryan Howard

2nd - Chase Utley

3rd - Alex Rodriguez

SS - JJ Hardy

LF - Ryan Braun

CF - Josh Hamilton

RF - Ryan Ludwick

Catcher- Joe Mauer

DH - Mark Teixera

Reliever - Joe Nathan

Would you guys pick Prince Fielder/Justin Morneau over Ryan Howard? Or Matt Holliday over Braun? Good old Larry Wayne Jones should be on there somewhere too, IMO.

thought morneau was canadian

pitchers webb,peavy,harden
1st howard,fielder but if morneau is american him because the other dont do anything but K
the rest i like besides hardy there has to be someone better

Reliever I have to add Joba too. Forgot about him. Yes Morneau is Canadian. This lineup makes me realize many of the TOP MLB players are actually foreigners.

Yes, not only is Morneau Canadian, but so is Rich Harden so he wouldn't be on the USA roster.

Wow not bad all. People were confused as to why Cuba was -220 favorite yesterday. Well, its like their ALL STAR team vs our AAA, AA, and college players. If pros got involved, there might be a better chance.
