    I think it's safe to say we're making the playoffs, so with just over a week to go, I thought it would be interesting to see what we thought the playoff roster WILL be. I guess you can do one of what you want it to be more then what you think the front office will do, but theres some spots up for grabs. To do some of the base work, I think a couple things are safe to say (sorry this will get lenghty): We'll have a 12 man pitching staff. Sometimes in the playoffs teams go with a 7 man bullpen and 4 man starting rotation, but we've gone with a 8 man bullpen all year so I think we'll do 8 man bullpen and 4 man rotation.

    So we have a 8 man bullpen and 4 man rotation.

    The locks:
    Clayton Kershaw
    Rich Hill
    Kenta Maeda

    Kenley Jansen
    Joe Blanton
    Grant Dayton
    Pedro Baez

    So, 7 out of 12 spots are locks... Meaning theres still arguably 1 rotation spot and 4 bullpen spots.

    For the position players, here are the locks:

    Yasmani, Gonzalez, Utley, Seager, Turner, Howie, Joc, Reddick, Puig, Enrique, Toles, Ruiz

    I know you could argue against Toles/Enrique/Ruiz but... there locks, realistically.

    So that is 12 position players that are locks out of 13, leaving us with one open spot. The options here are basically Culberson, Ethier, Barnes, Micah, or Segedin. As you can see, I don't think anyone from that group is overtaking Toles/Enrique/Ruiz as a lock

    My guess?

    The pitching staff is the one I don't feel comfortable accurately guessing one way or another cause I think a lot will change in the next week with the return of Kaz/Brett/BMac, this thread can be open and changing. But if I have to make a prediction, I'd say the 5 open pitching staff spots go:
    De Leon, Stripling, Wood, Urias, and Jesse Chavez

    For the position players, I'll guess Ethier to give us a 2 lefty, 2 righty bench.

    Sorry for the length but basically it comes down to guessing what the remaining 5 pitchers and 1 hitter will be

    Don't say no to Kazmir until we see what happens tonight...

    I'll put my thoughts on this topic soon

    Urias is a lock, imo. He will come out of the bullpen and probably make at least 1 start if we advance to the LCS/WS.

    I hope Kike gets injured if he's a lock

    I expected so much more from Kazmir. He can be very good, but he's a little like Anderson in having that 1 bad inning.

    Pedro Baez is going to fuck something up somehow at some point.

    Headcase, yes.

    But he's worked on his secondary pitches during his stay at OKC. He's been a different pitcher since.

    Doesn't mean I still don't cringe every time he comes in.

    I've been a Kazmir supporter, but we can safely take him out of the postseason roster conversation now.

    That's fine but who are you placing on there instead of him? Segedin? Barnes? Micah or Culberson? Those are basically the other options

    Any roster with Kike on it is definitely a mock-ery :rimshot:
