Regardless of what one thinks of the World Baseball Classic, it is still an honor to be selected to take part in the event. Such a selection means that you are one of the best that your country has to offer, and a vital part needed to bring home the title. It is, indeed, a wonderful feeling to be a part of such a roster.
The Tampa Bay Rays will have four of their players participating in the World Baseball Classic this year. Four pitchers, Chris Archer, Jose De Leon, Alex Colome, and Jose Alvarado, will be playing for their countries.
