Talk:2011 Baseball World Cup (Rosters)
I wish Canada would get some guys like Votto to play for them. Show 'em what we really have... We always use the second string guys, minor leaguers and lower level guys.
I'm just upset as we haven't done much on the world stage in baseball lately. The WBC was a joke in '09. We got the bronze a few years ago at the World Cup, but we have some really decent guys that you'll never see play for the national team (heck, what's Eric Gagne up to these days?)

Uh, they're not allowed to use Votto or anybody else on a 40-man roster, just like all the other entries. Votto did play for them (and starred) in the 2005 Baseball World Cup, before he was a household name. - --Mischa 20:17, 25 September 2011 (EDT)
- Ok, that makes sense then. Thanks. Oaktree_b 08:38, 6 October 2011 (EDT)
