Shawn Green, Brad Ausmus and Gabe Kapler met this week in Los Angeles with Israeli baseball officials and committed to helping Israel field a competitive team in next year's WBC qualifying round, the three players told The Associated Press.
The current crop of Jewish major league talent includes stars such as Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers, Kevin Youkilis of the Boston Red Sox and Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers. An Israeli "Dream Team" could also feature Ike Davis, Jason Marquis, Sam Fuld, Danny Valencia and Scott Feldman.
