That's an all star team... lol.

[Ehjays]

Is this a joke??? The top 6 Im ok with but Mr Chapman needs to be at least 7.

Also added is the Jays reply

[jaysblue]

Looking forward to the WBC, though do you think it helps players and pitchers or hurts them more before the regular season?

Whoever put that batting order together needs to be fired.

Muncy hasnt even been a primary 3B, except for last season, Turner is on the way down... though he has been a very good 3b in the past. I could see an argument for Yandy above Chapman if you look at Offense over defense, and CHappy is just flat out better than DJ...so yeah... Chappy should be a solid #7 on that list.

[The_DH]

Lists like these are nothing but ego stroking and have no bearing on anything. Only one trophy matters.

One doesn’t have anything to do with the other. Just because a team wins a World Series, doesn’t mean you can’t grade out players

Jrod is a rookie so he hits last DUH.

Pena? He has proven big game experience he should probably lead off

Nutty. Pitching has always been their weak point for the WBC, this looks like a roster capable of winning for sure. Pitching looks a lot better than the US

Yeah. Even in that ridiculous lineup Julio Rodriguez doesn't bat 9th.wtf

Yeah

The emergence of Alcantara and Valdez has really changed the picture

[G-Snarls]

The US probably won't be as well rostered up as they could be

Not sure the Angels and Rangers and Mets will be OK letting Trout, DeGrom and Verlander play in it
