Jesus Guzman and Pablo Sandoval for Venezuela


Brooks McNiven for Canada (also, former Giants farmhand Chris Begg returns from the 2006 squadron)

Bengie Molina and Jonathan Sanchez for Puerto Rico. Also someone named Andres Torres, who played in the PR Winter League this past year. He played with Iowa in the Cubs org in 2008 and for some reason, was listed as the Giants players in the WBC. Who knows?

Sharlon Schoop for Netherlands

I'm really excited for team Mexico. I shouldn't count on Yovani Gallardo making the final cut with his injury issues from last season, but even if Matt Garza and Joakim Soria stay, I'll be happy.

I can't wait for this to start. 2006 was amazing.
