USA Dream Team WBC

[Gamecock Rob]

So, as we've noticed, team USA isn't exactly the best guy at every position that we could be throwing out there. So, lets say the WBC winning country gets to rule the world, what is the ideal team USA starting roster. Fill out 2-9, 3 SP, CL, and DH

[I Bleed Garnet]

C- Buster Posey
1B- Mark Teixeira
2B- Brandon Phillips
SS- Troy Tulowitzki
3B- David Wright
OF- Andrew McCutchen
OF-Mike Trout
OF- Ryan Braun
DH-Prince Fielder

SP
Stephen Strasburg, Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander
CL
Craig Kimbrel

^^^ That's a good lineup but IMO, where USA has its weakness this year is in middle relief. Jeremy Affeldt is the best guy in middle relief. He's good but when David Hernandez is our 8th inning guy to bridge it to Kimbrel, that's a weakness.

Over Phillips? Behind Cano, Brandon Phillips is the best all around 2nd baseman in baseball. Defensively, he's a shortstop playing 2nd. Unreal glove. He's actually been our best player behind Wright. Glad he's not in Atlanta's division. Aaron Hill and Dustin Pedroia are really good. Dustin was the best player in baseball at one point.

I'd rather have Ian Kinsler over Hill
