OP -
The reason that the U.S. team lost to Puerto Rico probably has more to do with the fact that the U.S. team has very few standout players. The roster of MLB players that played in the WBC shows that there were only a handful of players that played for the U.S., with the rest of them going to their home countries to play for them instead.

The US wasn't the only team missing players. Japan didn't have their best power hitter. Canada was missing its top 4 pitchers. Dominican Republic could have used Manny.........etc |
