Your ALDS rosters

[osforlife]

Who would be on your ALDS roster? I'd put:

38 Luis Ayala
16 Wei Yen Chen
50 Miguel Gonzalez
39 Jason Hammel
30 Chris Tillman
29 Tommy Hunter
43 Jim Johnson
52 Steve Johnson
17 Brian Matusz
56 Darren O'Day
40 Troy Patton
48 Joe Saunders

31 Taylor Teagarden
32 Matt Wieters

11 Robert Andino
19 Chris Davis
3 Ryan Flaherty
2 J.J. Hardy
13 Manny Machado
12 Mark Reynolds

27 Endy Chavez
51 Lew Ford
10 Adam Jones
9 Nate McLouth

25 Jim Thome

[Matt P]

I'd go with whatever Buck says

[ofahn]

I'd say your guess is well considered and probably very close to the actual roster. Buck might be loyal to Strop and use him instead of Steve Johnson, although I would prefer to keep a long man, particularly if a game goes extra innings although we don't seem to get involved in any of those; do we?

I could also see Saunders being left off if Betemit is ready. Saunders isn't essential since Hammel should be able to pitch twice.

[Matt P]

If Hammel goes down they can replace him on the roster right?

[ofahn]

Nice call osforlife. You got it right except for Strop/Steve Johnson.

Rather have the hot Steve Johnson than the cold Pedro Strop.

I wonder about Strop's future here. Is Koji on our radar screen??
