Two A's farmhands will wear the red, white and blue this summer. Kind of weird, the US looks to be taking minor leaguers instead of college kids.
"The team's first game is against Korea on Aug. 13. Team USA, which won gold in Sydney in 2000, is back in the Olympics after missing out on a bid in 2004.
Eight major league organizations landed two players on the Olympic roster: Oakland pitchers Brett Anderson and Trevor Cahill; St. Louis outfielder Colby Rasmus and infielder Brian Barden; Angels infielder Matthew Brown and pitcher Kevin Jepsen; Philadelphia infielder Jason Donald and catcher Louis Marson; Colorado outfielder Dexter Fowler and pitcher Casey Weathers; Detroit infielder Mike Hessman and pitcher Blaine Neal; Dodgers pitcher Mike Koplove and infielder Terry Tiffee; and LaPorta and pitcher Jeff Stevens of the Indians.
The other six players are Baltimore pitcher Jake Arrieta, San Francisco pitcher Geno Espineli, Florida outfielder John Gall, Mets pitcher Brandon Knight, White Sox pitcher Clayton Richard and Texas catcher Taylor Teagarden."

Thanks
I’d rather see this posted separately with a header that makes it clear instead of as a DLD.

Ugggh
Didn’t see that at all. Still getting used to the new format. Forget to look at the top posts.

Like I said, I'd rather it be a post that's clearly about the selection than in a DLD.
Some people don’t read the DLDs. I’m usually one of them.

This is sort of a big deal (PT’s cruel Zyklon B jokes aside)
Congrats to both of them, and I hope they dominate.

Wasn't my joke
Sadly.

Cahill & Anderson: Don't Get Hurt!
Oh, and represent our Country well (Is it OK to say “Our”?)...
That is all.
