It looks like Brian Knight has changed his number from 91 to 30. Also, Mark Wegner is now number 14. I saw Wegner as number 14 during a Dominican Republic-Yankess scrimmage on Wednesday. I am not sure where that leaves Bill Miller and Rob Drake number wise but these are changes that I have seen so far.
It's good Team USA got eliminated when they did, with WBC rules prohibiting umpires from officiating the finals if their country is part of it. MLB would be up in arms if Americans made the finals and one of the league's own umps wasn't behind the plate!
It wouldn't have made a difference. With a couple exceptions due to double headers, MLB umpires work home plate in every game, even those involving USA. If US made it there would still have been 3 MLB umps working it with one on the plate.
