During the winter meetings last month, it was announced New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter will play for the U.S. team -- and USA Baseball executive director Paul Seiler didn't hesitate in naming Jeter the starter.
World Series champion shortstop Jimmy Rollins of the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego ace Jake Peavy, the 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner, are among the U.S. players eager to take part in the second World Baseball Classic this spring.
Others announced Friday included Milwaukee outfielder Ryan Braun; Cleveland infielder/outfielder Mark DeRosa; Detroit outfielder Curtis Granderson; Atlanta infielder Chipper Jones and catcher Brian McCann; Twins right-hander Joe Nathan; Houston right-hander Roy Oswalt; Boston infielders Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis; and Mets third baseman David Wright and pitcher J.J. Putz.
Also picked were Dodgers right-hander Jonathan Broxton; Angels pitchers Brian Fuentes, John Lackey and Scot Shields; Florida right-hander Matt Lindstrom; Toronto left-hander B.J. Ryan; Cleveland outfielder Grady Sizemore; and Chicago White Sox left-hander Matt Thornton.
Ooooh...Mark Derosa.
