versus left-hander
CF McCutchen
3B Wright

RF Kemp

1B Fielder
C Posey
SS Tulowitzki
2B Pedroia Catchers: Buster Posey, Joe Mauer
Two positives here. One bats right-handed, one bats left-handed. Both can also play first base if needed. In case you've forgotten about Mauer, he has a .406 on-base percentage entering Thursday's game. This team will have plenty of power, so I'd prefer Mauer's on-base skills over the power of Matt Wieters or Brian McCann.

First base: Eric Hosmer, Prince Fielder
Yes, Hosmer is off to a slow start, but he's going to hit. I love the idea of putting him on the big stage, something he doesn't get to do playing for the Royals. Fielder gives us a left-handed power bat and we'll use him as our designated hitter in the tournament if he's not playing first base.

Second base: Dustin Pedroia, Ben Zobrist
Pedroia played on the 2009 squad and we'll be loyal to past participants whenever possible. Plus, he's the kind of high-energy guy you want for this kind of tournament. Zobrist gets the nod over Ian Kinsler for his positional flexibility. Like Mark DeRosa in 2009, he'll serve as our super utility guy and provides value as a switch-hitter and can run for Fielder if needed.

Third base: Evan Longoria, David Wright
Two more veterans from the 2009 we'll welcome back. Good sticks and good gloves.

Shortstop: Troy Tulowitzki
Derek Jeter played on the first two WBC squads, but it's time to make room for Tulo.

Outfield: Ryan Braun, Matt Kemp, Josh Hamilton, Mike Trout, Andrew McCutchen, Bryce Harper
It pains me to leave Giancarlo Stanton off the team, but we need to get another left-handed batter on the team, so we'll give Harper the final spot. Besides having the talent worthy of deserving consideration, Trout and Harper fill our young stars requirement and have the ability to play all three outfield positions. And they won't complain if they're not in the starting lineup every game.

투수진...

Starting pitchers: Justin Verlander, Clayton Kershaw, Matt Cain, Stephen Strasburg, Chris Sale
OK, there's probably no way the Nationals let Strasburg pitch, but we can dream, can't we? So many choices here, of course, with guys such as Cole Hamels, Jered Weaver, Cliff Lee and others. Kershaw and Sale give us two left-handers and Sale could also pitch out of the bullpen as a long guy if needed. Verlander is the guy we want starting the championship game, but Cain wouldn't be a bad option either. Remember his 2010 postseason run? One unearned run in three starts.

Bullpen: Craig Kimbrel, Jonathan Papelbon, Joe Nathan, Vinnie Pestano, Jim Johnson, Joel Hanrahan, Sean Marshall, Sean Burnett
Since there are limitations on the number of pitches that starting pitchers can throw, you need a lot of relievers on the staff. Nathan (2006) and Hanrahan (2009) are veterans of previous WBC squads, and by the way Nathan looks as dominant as ever, with a 31/2 strikeout/walk ratio. Pestano destroys right-handers -- .115 in 2011, .136 in 2012; he's an easy selection to the squad. Marshall and Burnett are the two lefty killers, but they're good enough to get right-handed batters as well. Johnson is a valuable asset since he can go two innings in case we get into an extra innings situation. He gets the final spot over the underrated Sergio Romo.

That's our 28 guys. What do you think? The previous two U.S. squads both failed to reach the championship game. In 2006, after going 2-1 in the first round of pool play, they went 1-2 in the second round, losing 7-3 to South Korea and 2-1 to Mexico, failing to reach the semifinals. In 2009, they went 2-1 in each of the first rounds of pool play (losing both times to Venezuela) before losing 9-4 to Japan in the semis (Roy Oswalt got pounded).

And, as I'm sure you remember, Daisuke Matsuzaka was MVP of each of the first two World Baseball Classics.

현실은 한국과 일본이 5198023 번 정도 붙어서 일본이 우승하겠지요 -_-

멤버가 아무리 저렇게 구성되도 준비도 제대로 안하고 나올 가능성이 매우 높죠. 지난번 wbc도 멤버가 우리나라나 일본 보다 좋지 않아서 못한게 아니죠. 야구는 국가 대표 경기에서 강팀이라고 불릴 수 있는 나라가 미국, 한국, 일본 정도밖에 없는데 미국은 열의가 없고 일본 한국만 전의를 불태우는 상황이니 wbc라는 타이틀을 가지고 대회를 열어야 하는지 의문스럽네요. 구기종목 중에선 축구를 제외하고는 국가간의 세계 대회가 진정한 의미에서의 세계대회인 경우가 없죠.

저게 홈런더비 라인업이라.. 컨디션 안올라온 봄에는 잘할수 있는 라인업도 아닌듯 합니다. 1,2회때도 라인업은 쩔었지만 저렇게 큰거만 노리는 라인업은 좀 문제가 있죠.

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 마우어가 구멍이네요.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 대박.. 어쩌면 1회멤버보다 더 강할듯...
