Korea Times: Prelim Roster for WBC Unveiled

Manager Kim In-sik, who led South Korea to the semifinals in the inaugural contest in 2006 after beating the big leaguer-studded United States and eventual champion Japan, selected 45 players including seven playing overseas _ Park Chan-ho, Lee Seung-yeop, Lim Chang-yong, Lee Hye-chun, Choo Shin-soo, Baek Cha-seung and Lee Byung-kyu.

Free agent Kim Byung-hyun, who did not pitch in the 2008 season, was also included.

``Lee Seung-yeop said he would not play at the WBC to focus on his next season in Japan, but the technical committee have included him just in case he changes his mind,’’ Kim said.

Remember kids, in Asia, the last name comes first.

Remember kids, in Asia, the last name comes first.

So, would it be Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Burton Warner Fortensky Elizabeth, or Fortensky Elizabeth Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Burton Warner?

So if Choo Shin-soo wins first place in the WBC, can he have his military service deferred or is it only Olympics and Asian Games gold medals?

The WBC won't count toward Korean military exemptions. Not sure why.
