The 25 man roster come opening day

[USCFOOTBALL]

Anyone wanna take a stab at it?

[LASportsFan1996]

C-AJ Ellis/Tim Federowicz
1B-Adrian Gonzalez
2B-Mark Ellis/Skip Schumaker/Nick Punto
SS-Hanley Ramirez
3B-Luis Cruz/Juan Uribe ()
LF-Carl Crawford/Jerry Hairston
CF-Matt Kemp
RF-Andre Ethier

SP- Clayton Kershaw/Zack Greinke/Josh Beckett/Chad Billingsley/Hyun Jin Ryu/Aaron Harang
RP- Brandon League/Kenley Jansen/JP Howell/Ted Lilly/Matt Guerrier/Ronald Belisario

This was pretty hard to figure out, especially the pitchers, I did this under the impression that Capuano will be gone in someway and another thing that hit me was our bench is ****ING TRASH!!

[BleedinBlue]

Alright, I'll take a stab knowing I will be wrong.

Lf- crawford
Cf-kemp
Rf-Ethier
3b-uribe (yeah, I think he wins the job)
Ss- rameriz
2b-m Ellis
1b-a Gon
C-aj Ellis

Bench
L. Cruz
J Hairston
N. punto
S Schumacher
T. Fed
( I really do think punto will be gone and a old rh hitting free swinging pinch hitter will be brought in)

Sp
Kershaw
Greinke
Beckett
Harang
Ryu

( I don't see bills elbow or Lilly's shoulder making it)
Coin flip between harang and capy.

Pen
League
Jansen
Belisario
Howell
Guerrier
Ames, I think he steals guerra spot, or he will earn it and they may not give it to him due to options.
Capuano becomes the long guy/spot starter.

[BleedinBlue]

Agreed bench is trash, I sure hope we keep Gwynn as a defensive OF, his stick is at least that of Punto and we need a good OF.

Also hope bills is fine and we can trade harang or capuano for position prospects.

[Dodgerbluemmm24]

our bench is ****ING TRASH!!

But Punto has grit!

[BleedinBlue]

But Punto has grit!

So do I, but even I can hit it out of the infield.

[Dodgers99]

C- AJ Ellis
1B- A-Gon
2B- Schumacher (Cain will likely be the opening day starter for SF, so the platoon would dictate that Ellis sit)
SS- Ramirez
3B- Cruz
LF- Crawford
CF- Kemp
RF- Ethier

Bench
C- Flores
2B- Ellis
3B/OF- Hairston
INF- Punto
OF- Gwynn Jr (I think someone will be added to fill this spot, but for now, i'll leave it like this)

Starting Pitchers
Kershaw
Greinke
Ryu
Beckett
Billingsley

Bullpen
League
Jansen
Belisario
Howell
Guerrier
Moylan
Paco

Some or all of Lilly, Capuano and Harang will be phantom DL'd until needed if not traded.

[Dodgerbluemmm24]

Is Gwynn for sure coming back next year?

Love the Moylan pick,I can see that as well. Flores also has a good shot at c. I would also like to see Gwynn make the squad and hope Bills can go.

Like this list.

[Abedodgerfan1]

Did anyone read the article with a trade idea were we send cap to mariners for Franklin Gutierrez. that would benefit both teams.

[LASportsFan1996]

But Punto has grit!

#MVPunto

So do I, but even I can hit it out of the infield.

Ok Ok, he wasn't that bad for us the last month Lol

Bench
C- Flores

Bullpen
Moylan

Thought about these guys aswell, honestly was gonna put Flores as the backup catcher because I could easily see that happening and I'm sure we'll see Moylan at some point

Is Gwynn for sure coming back next year?

He's under contract, but considering he wasn't brought up last September, I doubt we'll see him again unless injury occurs

Chad Billingsley tells AM570 that he's thrown eight bullpen sessions and has had no issues with his elbow.
