Six A's in World Baseball Classic
2005-12-05 13:56
by Ken Arneson

Six players on the A's roster, plus two more A's free agents, are on the initial rosters for the World Baseball Classic, according to MLB.com.

The six current players are:
Eric Chavez, USA
Huston Street, USA
Barry Zito, USA
Esteban Loaiza, Mexico
Kiko Calero, Puerto Rico
Marco Scutaro, TBD

The free agents are:
Alberto Castillo, Dominican Republic
Ricardo Rincon, Mexico

Marco Scutaro is an interesting case. He's among three players--Alex Rodriguez and Mike Piazza are the others--who can choose which country to represent. The MLB.com article says his choices are Italy and Puerto Rico, which is odd, because Scutaro was born in Venezuela.

The initial rosters will have up to sixty players, which will be trimmed to 30 before the start of play.

Looks like they've edited since then, because the story says right now that Scutaro can choose between Italy and Venezuela.
