WBC-Lineups USA-Canada

March 07, 2009

Canada is the visiting team because of the IBAF rankings, but wisely has comandeered the home clubhouse before anyone noticed.

CANADA

13-Chris Barnwell ss

55 Russell Martin c

19 Joey Votto dh

33 Justin Morneau 1b

44 Jason Bay cf

12 Matt Stairs rf

24 Mark Teahen 3b

8-Nick Weglarz lf

4-Pete Orr 2b

25 Mike Johnson p

USA

15-Dustin Pedroia 2b

2-Derek Jeter ss

10 Chipper Jones

4 David Wright-3b

21-Kevin Youkilis 1b

17 Adam Dunn rf

18 Ryan Braun lf

16 Brian McCann c

50 Shane Victorino cf

22 Jake Peavy p

There is a pitch count of 65 in the first round that should help the younger, more inexperienced Canadian staff as much as it will help any team in the tournament. You can tell your pitcher to go out and throw his hardest, not holding anything bnack and using the adrenaline rush of playing at home and he will be out after three or hopefully four innings. That's a theory anyway. Iy will be an uphill battle for Canada.

Cheers.
