WBC Line-up Speculation

[1337_Dude]

I figure with all of the World Baseball Classic hype floating around I'd start a thread to speculate Rotations and Starting Line-Ups. I'm only going to do the U.S. roster at the moment.
Here's the link for anyone else that's up for it http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/wbc/r ... nt=country

U.S. Line-up How i'd like to see it
1st - Derek Jeter, SS
2nd - Michael Young, 2B
3rd - Barry Bonds, LF
4th - Mark Teixeira - 1B
5th - Eric Chavez - 3B
6th - Vernon Wells - CF
7th - Jason Varitek - C
8th - Carl Crawford - RF
9th- Pitcher

Not sure if it's DH or not if it's DH
1st - Derek Jeter, SS
2nd - Michael Young, 2B
3rd - Barry Bonds, LF
4th - Mark Teixeira - 1B
5th - Eric Chavez - 3B
6th - Vernon Wells - CF
7th - Derek Lee - DH
8th - Jason Varitek - C
9th - Carl Crawford - RF

Rotation:
Roger Clemens
Dontrelle Willis
Jake Peavy
Roy Halladay
Sabathia/Pettite/Zito

The Bullpen is crazy so i'm not going to bother.

Halladay's out.

why would Derrek Lee not start over Teixeira? Better hitter, Better fielder and much, much better baserunner

The domican lineup is going to dominate the US lineup:

1 soriano
2 arod
3 pujols
4 vlad
5 manny
6 ortiz
7 tejada

I like the line-up. This is a good team although I was hoping Wright would get 3B. Guess he's not established enough.

Doesn't A-rod still have to decide?

Personal preference more so then anything. The only thing I would say Teixeira is behind Lee is in baserunning and I'm not taking that into account from that spot.
