Dan Wheeler?

The roster for the U.S. team in World Baseball Classic is out and Dan Wheeler made the team. I understand this is due to strict pitch counts on starters, they need to carry a lot of relievers, especially guys who could go 2 innings. Manager Buck Martinez says starters will pitch only three innings, at least until later in the tournament.

Here's the whole roster:
Starters: Roger Clemens, Dontrelle Willis, CC Sabathia, Jake Peavy
Relievers: Chad Cordero, Brian Fuentes, Todd Jones, Brad Lidge, Joe Nathan, Scot Shields, Huston Street, Mike Timlin, Billy Wagner, Dan Wheeler
Catchers: Michael Barrett, Brian Schneider, Jason Varitek
Infielders: Derek Jeter, Chipper Jones, Derrek Lee, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Chase Utley, Michael Young
Outfielders: Johnny Damon, Jeff Francouer, Ken Griffey Jr., Matt Holliday, Vernon Wells, Randy Winn


The lineup should be:
Johnny Damon - CF
Michael Young - 2B
Derek Jeter - SS
Alex Rodriguez - 3B
Derrek Lee - 1B
Ken Griffey - LF
Mark Teixeira - DH
Vernon Wells -RF
Jason Varitek - C

David Wright and Jimmy Rollins didn't make this stacked team. But the outfield is weak. I think this lineup is much weaker than the Dominicans but believe it or not, depth of bullpen like Shields and Wheeler will give the U.S. a big edge.
