The question is who will the Americans put on their team. Reports are they want A - Rod on their team, but A - Rod reportedly wanted to play for his nationality.(Dominican Republic) The demented car salesman from Wisconsin though wantsto force A - Rod to play for the US. Hey if he wants to play for the Dominicans, I wish him luck. I'm sure Hank Blalock can pick up the slack at third.If MLB was smart they would make this about nationalism for all sides just the Dominicans. Wouldn't it be great if we could see an all White USA team and an all Minority USA team? Along with Canadians, the spanish countries, the asians. Hell it'd be interesting to see the divisions among White and colored hispanics.
This brings to a slightly different topic. For MLB it would be interesting if they did what Japan did which would put a cap on how many foreginers could be on a team at a given time. I was reading a book called Japanese Baseball they said it was like 7 for the big league roster, and 12 for the whole system. I think for MLB they should be lower like 3 for a big league roster, and like 8 for an entire system. We could fill the minor league rosters with undrafted college level guys and high school phenoms, sandlot guys.
The possibilities are great, but alas just another dream.

I think A-Rod is a sure thing for shortstop not
third since team traditions won't factor. He's domincan? I
thought he was mexican or something. Will amateurs factor in the
tournament? Can the US field a dominating team?

I actually thought A-Rod was from the U.S. because his English was so good. I alway get him confused with Derek Jeter, I thought he was a mulatto. I probably won't watch this, if they load the team with players that don't represent the country.
A-Rodwas born in New York City.

Well that makes no sense that is like me trying to play for Germany. Another case for people who don't care for this country, but live here for the benefits.
