NT player selection is done by suitability for each position and then a few by overall talent. Then for each game, the lineup is selected based on the handedness of the starting pitcher.

MukilteoMike's player, Myung Dae "Mayday" Park, is strong on defense, but is a little lacking in offense. I suspect that was the deciding factor. If he had a major position of SS, that might also have helped.

That was quick and decisive. USA vs Cuba in the finals.

Happy to say that my player Alvarado collected Panama's only win in the Classic. I think he was my only national player.

I think Tiger's answer makes the most sense.

It's politics. Who knows who and who looks better in a bathing suit for the National team calendar. ;)



My guy Reyna had the same range, better defense, better speed, and similar batting skills than the Dominican Republic 3B players with 7+ more SI overall. As I said, complete BS selection process.

Don't believe me? Pull up Reyna's page, then pull up the Dominican national team page and cross check.

I think Reyna suffered from the little 3b thing.

Grats USA. Didn't really think Cuba could keep that magic going.

Another huge USA comeback after being down 2-0. I can't believe they pulled that off.

With the win Julian Pagan becomes the first player ever to win the Legends, Cup, and World Classic championships. Not bad for a 25 year old.

Dang, I wanted Cuba to win, I like to see different winners more often. But congrats to the USA, that was a great comeback.
