Line-up for the U.S.:
1. Micheal Young, 2B
2. Derek Jeter, SS
3. Ken Griffey, CF
4. Alex Rodriguez, DH
5. Chipper Jones, 3B
6. Derek Lee, 1B
7. Brian Schneider, C
8. Vernon Wells, RF
9. Randy Winn, LF
Jake Peavy is on the mound.
All four of these teams may be better than anyone in pool one. It's going to be fun to watch.
My predictions:
Cuba: 2-1
Dominican: 2-1
Puerto Rico: 1-2
Venezuela: 1-2
I don't see anyone going undefeated.

The WBC is definitely a joke.
I just don't get how you can take it seriously.
In the PHT forum, a lot of people are in the camp that it's just ST, and the players are just getting their work in, etc. You can't just turn around and expect that much more from anyone in this fake tournament. It's their ST too.
That's why this thing is never going to work. MLB's season is too long (not that I'm complaining) for this to ever work.
Tell that to the Domican, or Venezuela.
Clemens is going to take the mound for his first appearance of the WBC and maybe one of his last ever.
US is in a must win situation, but they should be able to pick up the easy W and move on.
I don't believe there is any live TV again.
