Korea - Seung Yeop Lee, who hit the HR in the 8th off Japan.

Japan - Had a pretty balanced offense with a couple guys (Nishioka, Matsunaka) putting up good numbers.

I would say team USA has co-mvps in Jason Veritek and Ken Griffey....without Varitek slam the US doesn't advance and Griffey is hitting like .800 so far.

For Mexico I would say Estaban Loiaza for his performance against Canada.

PR very balanced attack so far hard to pick.

Cuba has to be Gurriel

Dominican between Ortiz and Beltre.

Venezuela - Cabrera

Overall best hitter so far: Griffey

Overall best pitcher so far: hard to pick with the pitching limitations but Bartolo Colon probably faced the toughest lineup with the most pressure. Loewen qualifies in that department also. Only Martis pitched as many as 7 innings.

The MVP of the italian team was Tony Giarratano,he was very good in defense and was a solid hitter,he is very young and he should have a fine Mlb career.
I hope to see him on the Detroit 25 men rosters.

DR's MVP is between Beltre, Colon and Pujols.

Ortiz shouldn't be mentioned since he's got 2 hits in the WBC...although they were both big HRs ;)
