Taiwan and Puerto Rico have announced their rosters for the World Cup. See http://www.baseball-reference.com/bu...d_Cup_(Rosters)
Taiwan's is very similar to their team that beat Cuba in the 2011 World Port Tournament. It's a mix of amateur and US minor league players, as in past World Cups. Minor leaguers are catcher Chun-Hsiu Chen (http://www.baseball-reference.com/bu...Chun-Hsiu_Chen), who hit 16 homers in AA this year, pitcher Ching-Lung Lo (http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Ching-Lung_Lo), who might have ended his US career this year after peaking at AAA last year, pitcher Yao-Lin Wang (http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Yao-Lin_Wang) who had a decent year in low A, former White Sox farmhand Po-Yu Lin (http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Po-Yu_Lin), outfielder Kuo-Hui Lo (http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Kuo-Hui_Lo) who played in AA and utility man Fu-Lin Kuo (http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Fu-Lin_Kuo) who put up okay numbers in Rookie ball.
For Puerto Rico, it's a worse roster than they used to finish fourth in 2009. They still have a few former big leaguers in Hiram Bocachica, Javier Valentin, Alex Cintron, Cesar Crespo and Juan Padilla, but a lot more guys from the amateur ranks. In 2009, they had nine ex-major leaguers and one guy who has since made it as well as a slew of AA/AAA players. They should still be competitive but it'll be more of a challenge.

Japan has also been announced - http://www.baseball-reference.com/bu...Rosters)#Japan - as usual for a World Cup, they're going with an amateur All-Star team. About a third of the guys have played in a prior World Cup. They have one college pitcher as well. Probably a few of these guys will be pro in a couple years. Since pros have competed in the Cup, Japan's still been competitive, with Bronzes in 2003 and 2007. They're trying to recover from a poor 10th place finish in 2009, when they had an outfield of current NPB players Hisayoshi Chono, Ikuhiro Kiyota and Sho Aranami.

They're some of the best players in Japan's industrial leagues. I would call that an amateur All-Star team. It's not like these guys are merely average industrial leaguers. If you look at the 2010 industrial league Best Nine, four of those guys are in this World Cup. These are clearly industrial league stars.

The US is announced - see http://www.baseball-reference.com/bu...Rosters%29#USA - some good prospects like Travis d'Arnaud, Brett Jackson and A.J. Pollock, some guys unlikely to amount to much (Jordy Mercer) and a few MLB veterans (Joe Thurston, Brett Carroll, Jeff Marquez). Similar to the kind of teams they won with in 2007 and 2009.

I heard from a friend of mine who is a IBAF official and he confirmed that this is the last Workd Cup. Come December, when IBAF and MLB sign a agrement in Dallas, the WBC gets the right to declare itself the real championship competition; IBAF will have no real involvement.
I'd like to see the WBC take over the World Cup name and move the tournament to the fall; preferably after the World Series ends.
I'm sad to see thw BWC go; we've already lost the IBAF Intercontinental Cup.sigpicMan, do I *HATE* the Yankees!!!!!!

Australia's up - http://www.baseball-reference.com/bu...s%29#Australia - very similar to 2009. Three former big leaguers in Brad Harman, Justin Huber and Chris Oxspring and quite a few current minor leaguers. Let's see if this is the year they get a Medal - they've been trending up over time.
