who will play?

SPORTING GOODS

Due to injury/injury risk/not wanting to take drug tests, Barry Bonds and Lance Berkman have dropped out of the World Baseball Classic. That leaves the US with an outfield pool of:

Carl Crawford, Johnny Damon, Jeff Francoeur, Luis Gonzalez, Ken Griffey Jr, and Randy Winn.

Not really a squad that will put fear in the heart of Johan Santana.

I think with A-Rod, David Wright, and Eric Chavez all on the potential roster, it may be a good idea to ask Chipper Jones to play OF, as he has done in the past. An OF of Crawford-Damon-Jones, with Francoeur, one of the old guys, and Biggio around as a reserve, wouldn't be so bad.
