Other NPB Players On WBC Rosters

I thought I'd do a quick post rounding up the current and former NPB players on the rosters of the other (non-Japan) teams for this year's World Baseball Classic.  According to the list on YakyuDB there are 11 current NPB players playing on various WBC teams.  I found another 13 former NPB players on the rosters although it would not surprise me to discover that I missed some.
