Approximately 375 days for the 2013 WBC...
It's been over ninety days since I last updated my predictions. Their is still uncertainty regarding the participation of Japanese players and the WBC Steering committee has been tight lipped about the Qualifiers. In the mean time here is my latest guess of how the WBC and its qualifiers will look like. Host nations have one asterisk and double asterisks are for groups hosted by the United States. First, with Japan:
2012 World Baseball Classic Qualifiers
PHP Code:
Asia-Pacific North Atlantic** Latin America EMEA (Europe/Middle East/Africa)
Taiwan* Canada Panama* South Africa
Thailand Spain Nicaragua Germany*
Philippines Great Britain Colombia Czech Republic
New Zealand France Brazil Israel
2013 World Baseball Classic
PHP Code:
Japan* Mexico* Venezuela United States
South Korea Cuba Netherlands Puerto Rico*
China Italy Dominican Republic* Australia
AP Qualifier NA Qualifier LA Qualifier EMEA Qualifier
...And secondly, without Japan:
2012 World Baseball Classic Qualifiers
PHP Code:
Asia-Pacific North Atlantic** Latin America EMEA (Europe/Middle East/Africa)
Taiwan* Canada Panama* South Africa
Thailand Spain Nicaragua Germany*
Philippines Great Britain Colombia Czech Republic
New Zealand France Brazil Israel
PHP Code:
Final Qualifier**
Asia-Pacific 2nd Place
North Atlantic 2nd Place
Latin America 2nd Place
EMEA (Europe/Middle East/Africa) 2nd Place
2013 World Baseball Classic
PHP Code:
A** B C D
Final Qualifier Mexico* Venezuela United States
South Korea Cuba Netherlands Puerto Rico*
Australia China Dominican Republic* Italy
AP Qualifier NA Qualifier LA Qualifier EMEA Qualifier
Let's see how much longer we have to wait for any kind of announcement.
