Canada WBC roster 2020

[AdamGreenwood]

Gonna be looking good. Still have a few holes to fill, but if we can get all these guys out:

 

C) Andy Yerzy

1B) Josh Naylor

2B) Freddie Freeman

3B) Vladimir Guerrero

SS) Abraham Toro

 

OF Tyler O'Neill

EH Joey Votto

 

SP1) James Paxton

SP2) Jameson Taillon

SP3) Nick Pivetta

SP4) Mike Soroka

SP5) Cal Quantrill

 

I know Freeman doesn't usually play second, but let's get his bat in there anyways.

Still need a couple outfielders, and some RP, but some really good Canadian players coming up.

[Grant77]

I would expect Russell Martin to still be playing at that point, with Yerzy unlikely to have any major league experience.

[Pendleton]

Maybe there will be a Pompey or two for the OF

[Angrioter]

3B) Vladimir Guerrero? lol

 

 

He's dominican, bro

[AdamGreenwood]

3B) Vladimir Guerrero? lol

 

 

He's dominican, bro

 

Yeah, but he's born in Canada, so he can play for us if he wants.

[AdamGreenwood]

Yerzy is a catcher anyways, not a shortstop like Russel Martin.

[Jonn]

Yeah, but he's born in Canada, so he can play for us if he wants.

 

I would think he would choose Dominican for a chance to win the tournament. Hopefully the roster looks pretty good in a few years. Canada has to qualify again after failing to win a game last time.

[Krylian]

3B) Vladimir Guerrero? lol

 

 

He's dominican, bro

 

Not really.

[G-Snarls]

Yeah, but he's born in Canada, so he can play for us if he wants.

 

He won't

Canada could field a good team in baseball and especially basketball but the problem is they can't get a very good turnout among its athletes. Too many liberals who shy away from patriotism up there.

Canada Basketball’s participation woes are over. The next generation has been very good internationally at the grass roots level. That’s about to change in a big way at the men’s level with lots of lottery and first round picks on the way. The NCAA class next year is star stacked led by RJ Barrett who is far in away the best player in his age group. And dominated the US High School ranks.

 

Also helps that his Dad is very involved in Canada Basketball. Lets hope Baseball can catch up to our big gains in Basketball.

[Terminator]

That's good. They could have medaled the past couple Olympics if they could get turnout.

[Jonn]

That's good. They could have medaled the past couple Olympics if they could get turnout.

 

Oh they absolutely should have been in the last Olympics. They had an easy path and got upset by Mexico I believe it was. That game Triano actually benched Wiggins. They had another opportunity in Manilla but the conditions were not very good and some key players were without a contract and couldn't play. Canada has had some issues with close out games despite dominating the tournaments. They are well on there way to clinching a spot in the FIBA Americas. And once they get into that tourney with their talent base should easily qualify for the Olympics. Some really strange circumstances has screwed Canada recently

[The Iceman]

Don't forget Stubby Clapp and Pete orr...
