    Who stays? Who goes?

    Who does Donnie put on because "he's our guy."?

    Irish, you need to find a way to get Baez on that list.

    probably right
    although i'd be tempted to let him take wilson's spot
    but ned would never let that happen

    For what it's worth, last year the Dodgers carried 11 pitchers and 14 position players in both series so maybe your scenarios should have one less pitcher and another hitter

    bullpen was also better last year, so they didn't need as much depth

    Yeah, cuz the best medicine for bad relievers is MORE bad relievers.

    Absolutely correct.
    It's OK though, because he will be throwing 95/96 MPH, due to the "saving up" tactic. Unless "it's obviously a joke" as we were told. More Wilson "mystery"...
    Of course, no mention from this buffoon if he plans on these pitches being over the plate.
    Oh well. Can't have everything...an effective reliever and a comedy headliner, too?
    Let's get real...

    My take:

    These are the ones I feel are close to a lock

    Catchers(2): A.J. Ellis and Drew Butera

    Infielders(6): Adrian Gonzalez, Dee Gordon, Hanley Ramirez, Juan Uribe, Justin Turner, Miguel Rojas

    Outfielders(5): Carl Crawford, Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Scott Van Slyke

    Starting Pitchers(4): Kershaw, Greinke, Haren, Ryu

    Relievers(6): Kenley, J.P, League, Baez, Paco, Wilson

    That leaves 2 more spots I feel less confident about as to where they will go with it. Like I said earlier, they went with 11 pitchers and 14 position players last year which seems ideal. Having 8 relievers in a series like this seems like a waste.

    That final reliever seems like it boils down to Wright, Frias, Perez, and Hernandez. I would assume they want a long man on the roster, so take out Perez. (Perez would only make it on if they feel like he is better then Baez or Wilson. Having him over Baez would be a disgrace). So, I say it is between Wright, Frias, and Hernandez and they probably go with Wright.

    Now, for that 2nd roster spot I haven't filled, I say they go for a player who has some speed. They could go with another reliever but again, I feel like that is a waste. The bench currently has players that could cover every position, actually it has at least 2 players for every position. In that case, I feel like it should go with the best baserunner it could find. Turner, Van Slyke and Ethier don't offer much base running wise and/or would be a waste of a valuable at bat to put them in as a pinch runner. Rojas could I guess be used as a pinch runner but isn't exactly a burner. It would help to have someone run in the later innings and so that spot SHOULD go to Joc, but probably goes to Darwin? I guess.

    To make another out?
    Let's face it, it's only a taste of what the kid may/may not do, but so far, he has been underwhelming.

    he actually has a great rate of not making out so far... .390 OBP%, not to mention his defense and speed, I think he should be on the roster.

    In some of these games it woulda been great to give Joc a chance to come in as a pinch runner and see how he does in that role. We don't really even need him to come in and hit the shit out of the ball, but he could be more valuable then Someone like Barney if they had his speed on the bases in place of Uribe or something
