Chipper and McCann are on board.
Mark DeRosa and David Wright have reportedly accepted offers to play for Team USA.
David Wright is a nice addition.

Brina Fuentes, Curtis Granderson and Matt Lindstrom have agreed to play for Team USA.
Scott Kazmir was named to the team today. Hopefully, Joe Maddon won;t let him do it. His arm is a big question for the '09 season.
USA only needs Chipper. They don't need Wright.
"For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home."
An update on Canada...
Dempster, Harden questionable as Canada roster takes shape
May be a long tournament for the pitching staff. Not looking good there, but the lineup is all set, with some great positional players.
I don't want Wright to play much, but do you really believe that USA only needs an aging, streaky player with nagging injuries that pop up at least once a year?
Matt Lindstrom!!!!!
I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.
Ah, give me something clever to say here.
Here are the major and minor league players that are involved in the tournament:

Venezuela looks like a real solid team. Look at the pitching!
