    Have always liked him. Didn't he go to Dartmouth or some other Ivy?

    Israel could be pretty salty in the WBC with several major leaguers on the team: Kevin Youkilis, Ryan Braun, Ike Davis and Ian Kinsler. Also ex-big leaguers Shawn Green and Gabe Kapler.

    He is hitting .392 since the break. That'll do it.

    Ausmus is a Dartmouth College grad. He received a B.A. in Government in 1991.

    Green is on the active roster now according to the WBC website.

    Mark Loretta and Andrew Lorraine are listed as coaches and I'm positive I saw Gabe Kapler in the dugout today as well.
