The Dominican Republic appears in good position to repeat as World Baseball Classic champion after its star-studded roster was announced on Wednesday along with 15 other countries competing at this year's event.

Robinson Cano, Manny Machado, and Johnny Cueto are just three of the All-Stars representing a Dominican side that went a perfect 8-0 in 2013.

There will be plenty of competition, however, as the United States is sending its best roster in the history of the tournament, while two-time champion Japan and 2013 runner-up Puerto Rico both feature strong sides.

With every roster now constructed on paper, who is the early favorite to win the fourth edition of the World Baseball Classic?
