Francoeur added to WBC roster

In a bit of suprising news, Jeff Francoeur has been added to the United States roster for the upcoming World Baseball Classic. Francoeur joins fellow Braves Tim Hudson and Chipper Jones as other members of Team USA. The roster limit is 60 for each country, but rosters must be trimmed down to 30 before the tournament begins. So, that means only 30 players in uniform for each game. I'm guessing everyone named on the roster will get a chance to play if the number of games allow it? On a side note, the Netherlands team will be using the Atlanta Braves Disney facility to host training camp, I wonder who pulled those strings...
