The USA coach is having trouble finding a souhtpaw to pitch in the Tourney because Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, C.C. Sabbathia and David Kazmir have all said they didn't want to bother playing for America. What a shame. It looks like Ted Lilly will be our stalwart lefty hurler.
I understand all the reasons the different pitchers have given for not wanting to play, some economic, some physical and some just down right petty or moronic, but it still sticks in your throat, at least it does mine.
Meanwhile pitchers from other countries like Johann Santana are pushing teir bodies to the limit to compete.

Good luck to the Americans like Derek Jeter who choose to participate.
