Nippon Dream-Team

Discussion in the Open Talk forum
Nippon Dream-Team
I've been wondering for a while who I would choose for an all Japan National Team, for a baseball equivalent of the Soccer World Cup.

Here is a sketch:

1. Ichiro CF
2. Tani LF
3. Matsui, K SS
4. Matsui, H RF
5. Nakamura 3B
6. Fukudome DH
7. Ogasawara 1B
8. Furuta C
9.

I still can't decide on a 2nd baseman, or think who I would put into the bench. Being a pitcher my choice is easier:

S1 Nomo
S2 Ishii, K
S3 Uehara
S4 Kuwata
S5 Kaneda

Bullpen:
Toyoda
Kobayashi
Igawa
Wakatabe
Kudo
Sasaki (closer)

What do people think - agree or not?
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
