Several players made it official today that they will be playing for their respective countries, including a current and former Met. Former Met, (or really former Met prospect), Matt Lindstrom, has accepted an invite to play for team USA. He will be joined by Roy Oswalt who recently agreed to comeback and by Curtis Granderson who also agreed today that he will play for team USA. If you are going to root for team USA this year, you have to happy because they are really putting a world class team out there. They have Wright, C. Jones, Granderson, Sizemore, Youkilis, and Pedoria already signed on. They would be even better if a pitcher today didn't turn down an invite. They tried to get Cliff Lee to join the squad today, but he declined the invite.
Another current Met made it official today that he will play for his team again and that would be Pedro Feliciano, who will play again for Puerto Rico. Last time he didn't allow a run in any of his appearences. I actually have a unique peice of his from the classic. A couple of months ago, I purchased for a very reasonable price of $25, Feliciano's Locker Room tag from the Classic. Its very odd that such an interesting piece of memorbilla would be that cheap, especially when compared to the prices of other objects that were beign auctioned off. In other Mets WBC news, Reyes, Santana and Krod still all want to play for their respective countries. I remember reading a piece not too long ago that said that said that the Mets brass is not to fond of the idea of Santana playing in the WBC so he can continue to heal from his offseason procedures.
