September 21, 200421 yr If we make the playoffs who should be on the postseason roster? Rules are simple: 25 spots. Take into the shortened rotation, bench strength, and our competition (likely the Cardinals). Injuries to Chad Fox and Ramon Castro allow us to carry players not on the active roster as of August 31st, aka Weathers, Kensing or anyone on the 40-man roster.
September 21, 200421 yr Starting 8.. theres 8 Starting rotation.. including AJ.. 13 Mando.. Mota.. Rudy.. 16 Redmond.. 17 Easley.. 18 Bump, Perisho.. 20 Lenny, Cordero, Mordy.. 23 Aguila, Manzy... 25 i have no idea
September 21, 200421 yr Author Locks (17): LoDuca, Redmond, Conine, Castillo, Gonzalez, Lowell, Easley, Cabrera, Pierre, Encarnacion, Burnett, Beckett, Pavano, Willis, Valdez, Benitez, Mota Likely locks (3): Mordecai, Harris, Perisho In (4): Aguila, Admin Sutton, Bump, Seanez, Weathers Out (4): Treanor, Small, Howard, Koch, Manzanillo

September 21, 200421 yr Author If you name an injured player to your postseason roster you can add anyone on your 40-man roster as of the final regular season game of the year.
September 21, 200421 yr If you name an injured player to your postseason roster you can add anyone on your 40-man roster as of the final regular season game of the year. 566779[/snapback] But that's only if they were in your organization on August 31st. They can be in your organization and not on the 40 man like KRod in 2002, but Weathers is 100% ineligible as is my understanding of the rule.
September 21, 200421 yr Author OK, then swap Weathers for Howard. Power pitchers generally succeed better in the postseason.
September 21, 200421 yr I like your 17, rferry. But obviously AJ wont make it. So I assume that you get to replace him with someone - and you would do that with Howard. Oh K. So 16 (-Burnett) + Howard = 17. 18. Perisho 19. Manzanillo 20. Aguila 21. Harris 22. Mordecai 23. Cordero 24. Bump 25. Seanez You would have a 4 man rotation: Beckett, Willis, Pavano, Valdez Bullpen: Bump, Howard, Manzanillo, Perisho, Seanez, Mota, Benitez Starters: C Lo Duca, 1B Conine, 2B Castillo, SS AGon, 3B Lowell, LF Cabs, CF JP, RF Encarnacion Bench: Easely, Mordecai, Harris, Cordero, Aguila We wouldnt have any lefty bats other than Harris off the bench, but who cares. Sutton would be a solid pick, but not at the expense of another on the roster - with a 4 man rotation we would need all the pitching we could muster.
September 21, 200421 yr CA LoDuca, Redmond 1B Conine, Cordero 2B Castillo, Easley SS Gonzalez 3B Lowell, Mordecai LF Cabrera CF Pierre, Aguila RF Encarnacion, Harris SP Beckett SP AJ SP Pavano SP Willis RP Benitez RP Mota RP Seanez RP Valdez RP Bump RP Perisho RP Manzy
