Last week, I decided to get in the head of Charlie Manuel and projected the Phillies post-season roster. Now granted, most are obvious, but as far as the ones that were not obvious, well, I did not too shabby. Unfortunately I was not perfect, but hey, who is, right?
Anyway here is the actual post-season roster the Phillies will be going with to start the NLDS.
Catchers (2)
Carlos Ruiz
Brian Schneider
Infielders (8)
Ryan Howard
Chase Utley
Placido Polanco
Jimmy Rollins
Mike Sweeney
Ross Gload
Wilson Valdez
Greg Dobbs
Outfielders (5)
Raul Ibanez
Shane Victorino
Jayson Werth
Ben Francisco
Domonic Brown
Pitchers (10)
Roy Halladay
Roy Oswalt
Cole Hamels
Brad Lidge
Ryan Madson
Chad Durbin
Jose Contreras
Joe Blanton
J.C. Romero
Antonio Bastardo
Outside of having Ross Gload as an outfielder instead of an infielder (Gload plays 1B as well as all outfield positions), the only projection I got wrong was having an extra pitcher, Kyle Kendrick, on the roster instead of an extra outfielder, Domonic Brown. If he is only coming in to pinch hit, I guess I am okay with that, but under no circumstance should he be in the starting line up. If an outfielder gets injured, start Francisco before Brown.
The playoffs start tomorrow. I will be live blogging the entire day of baseball, starting with Rangers-Rays at 1:30. Join me and the rest of the cast of normal characters for what should be a fun day of baseball on TBS. Chip Caray might be gone from TBS, but we'll be sure to bring the fisting to the live blog anyway!
