PrintThe 16 teams for the 2009 WBC were announced and Rick VandenHurk is a happy camper seeing how the Netherlands will be one of those teams.
"Going to the World Baseball Classic is big-time for the country," said Vandenhurk, who is looking forward to joining guys like Andruw Jones, Jair Jurrjens and Mariners outfield prospect Wladimir Balentien on the club. "If I'm asked, for sure. If the [Marlins] let me go, for sure. That's an honor for me to play on the national team. I definitely want to do that."
I'm almost positive that VandenHurk will be asked to join the national team. Also, I'm sure the Marlins will let him go, if healthy, to participate in the event. This is assuming he starts his workouts earlier than normal, which he will probably do.
Go Orange! Their uniforms were orange, weren't they?
