Nine Brewers (Including Gallardo) named to WBC Provisional Rosters

So Gallardo does appear on the just-announced preliminary roster for Team Mexico. Note that these are not official rosters yet, just preliminary, so there's still a possibility he drops out.

Here are the rest of the Brewers set to appear:
Team USA: Ryan Braun
Team Italy: Mark DiFelice and Vinny Rottino
Team Canada: Brett Lawrie, R.J. Swindle, and Alex Periard
Team Venezuela: Jorge Julio
Team Australia: David Welch

Tom Haudricourt notes that there are 43 players on the US Team's roster right now, and only 28 will play in the Classic, meaning there's a possibility that Braun or any of these players doesn't actually play in the tournament.

Go the Welch!

I guess there’s always the next cricket world cup (in which we will of course dom-in-ate!)

What is DiFelice thinking? (Or Swindle, for that matter?) They’re on the bubble; the time away from spring training probably won’t help them much as the other guys who aren’t in the WBC go and steal their jobs.

10 - Adam Stern

Apparently he signed last week and he’s listed on Canada’s roster

Negas is in a class unto-itself, it's really not a "city", more a wonderland of awesomeness.

I’ll release my hostage.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

Escobar

I wonder why Venezuela didn’t add him to their preliminary roster, considering Canada took Lawrie and Periard

Maybe too many shortstops.
