Dominican Republic announces tentative list of WBC roster

The list is headlined by Albert Pujols, Vladimir Guerrero, Alfonso Soriano, Pedro Martínez, Adrian Beltré, Cristian Guzmán and Miguel Tejada

Others to have signed the Player Participating Agreement necessary include Pedro Feliz, Ubaldo Jiménez, Carlos Mármol, Carlos Gómez, Odalis Pérez, Willy Taveras, Alejandro De Aza, Eric Aybar, Jesús Colomé, recently naturalized citizen Kendry Morales, Ronnie Belliard, Alexi Casilla, Anderson Hernández, Kelvin Jiménez, Guillermo Mota, Leo Núñez, Jailen Peguero, Ramón Ramírez, Juan Salas, Duaner Sánchez, Ramón Santiago and Carlos Villanueva.

So far the list is at 29, but being on this list does not guarantee participation. There will be others from 40 man rosters who will be signing in the coming days. The Dominican team is looking to bounce back from the semifinal elimination in the first WBC.
