After a successful appearance in 2009, Jimmy Rollins will head back to the World Baseball Classic to represent Team USA.
So far, Rollins joins Canadian players Phillippe Aumont, Tyson Gillies, and Pete Orr as Phillies in the World Baseball classic. Former Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino will also play for Team USA. New Phillies third baseman Michael Young had been a candidate to play for Team Mexico, but decided to skip this year's classic to focus on Spring Training.
Full rosters will be unveiled later today, and more Phillies could play for other teams. Check out the full roster here on CBS Sports.com.
