That being said...THIS SHIT IS GONNA BE SICK!
Can you imagine the f'in Dominican republic lineup? Goodness. Why don't we just hand them the title right now man. Vlad, Grandpa Pujols, Tejada, Soriana, Man Rams, Shrek (and when I say Shrek, I mean David Ortiz).
Yo yo what about the U S of motherf'in A's pitching. Clemens, Dontrelle Whatchu talkin bout Willis, Jake Peavy, Sheets, Prior, Wood....SO MUCH MORE and believe me. We will Need all of our guns in order to face that lineup I just mentioned.
What about Venezuela. Little Cesar izturis, Bobby The Don Abreau, Miguel Cabrerra, with Carlos I will beat Jim Edmonds ass Zambrano throwin bullets at, and K Rod closin the game out.
Sheeeeeesh I can't wait for this shit.
Whatever the case, I am a homer and U S A all the way motherbitches!

A big part of it is which teams allow all of their players to play. Some teams (*cough* Yankees) didn't let their prospects play in the Olympics. It would be tough to see them not putting up some sort of protest to a tourney like this.
That said, I also think MLB would use some not-so-gentle coaxing if more teams resisted on this.
There's also the question of how ready the players will be for the competition. Some of the biggest stars are notoriously late starters in spring training; would they be in game-shape that much earlier in the year?
If everything works out perfectly, it should be a lot of fun. I've been looking forward to the tourney since the idea was first hatched, so hopefully it comes off without a hitch.
