Play Ball!
This is Baseball America's take on what the starting lineups will look like for the 16 teams expected to be involved in the World Baseball Classic next spring, and how each of the teams can be expected to perform. Teams will be divided into four pools, with two teams advancing from round-robin play out of each pool. The eight remaining teams will play another set of round-robin competition, with four teams advancing to a winner-take-all semifinal and final. Rosters were determined by the staff of Baseball America with the help of our correspondents. The organizations of players who are in the American major or minor leagues are listed in parentheses.
• Pool One: Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China
• Pool Two: Puerto Rico, Cuba, Panama, Italy
• Pool Three: Canada, Mexico, South Africa, United States
• Pool Four: Australia, Dominican Republic, Netherlands, Venezuela
