Playoff Roster *Update* Boesch, Villarreal left off

[Zander 77]

I wasn't entirely sure where this would fit, but I didn't like any of the current threads. If you want LFlol, you could make a general playoff thread and then stick this in there?

Anyway, I'm just curious how ya'll think the 25man will shake out for the playoffs. Who do you think will make it? Who might be a surprise "cut"? Will our favorite targets Raburn or Kelly be playing? Is there an odd man out in our bullpen? What about Boesch?

Begin discussion!

I was thinking about this myself, except I was in a meeting at work while I was thinking it. lol.

I think Garcia and Boesch makes the roster as a surprise and Kelly and Raburn do not.

Nah this has enough discussion or at least should that it deserves its own thread.

If Garcia and Boesch both make the roster who do you think should get the most PT in the OF?

Garcia is a rookie so this is a ton of pressure he has to face but he does bring speed to the table. Boesch sucks dick but is a veteran lefty hander who has played in the postseason before.

Right Berry plays vs RHP and Garcia plays vs LHP.

If so, then who becomes 3rd / emergency catcher?
Ramon Santiago?

[Zander 77]

I actually do think it was Santiago once we sent down Kelly.

It may depend on who we play, can't we change it after each round if we want?

Ramon Santiago?

Who cares?

[ahoda]

Are we all in agreement about leaving off Fielder so Raburn has a spot?

You even had to ask? Don't forget, Verlander has pitched too many innings, so our every-man Don Kelly's going to start game one as well.
