Baseball Begins, Kind Of

Last night, early this morning depending on how you look at it, the World Baseball Classic kicked off with Japan hammering China 18-2. Ouch! Also, South Korea took on Taiwan with the Souls from Seoul winning 2-0. Here's a question for the comment board: Which team of total unknowns , but with some international prowess, are you more afraid of, Japan or Cuba? And yes I know Ichiro is playing for Japan, but besides him they are pretty unknown in the States. I'm going with Cuba here mostly because they play all the time together, they are almost impossible to scout before the tournament, and they could have a lineup full of major leaguers or potential major leaguers and we would never know it.
