This is all speculation on my part, and every time I look at it, I see something I would change, but overall, I'm pretty happy with how I filled this out. Criticisms and comments are obviously welcome, so please have at it.

I presume that Ryan Hanigan, Chris Dickerson, Jay Bruce, Wilkin Castillo, Adam Rosales, and some other young guys in the organization could be on the 2009
Major League roster. In some cases, this is due to a lack of options (i.e. Bobby Livingston), lack of depth (Adam Rosales), and/or they're just ready for
MLB (Jay Bruce). Anyway, if you're looking for someone who isn't there, I probably just put him on the ML roster.
Players that I believe are most likely to leave as free agents:
Jon Adkins
Drew T. Anderson
Kevin Barker
Luis Bolivar
Alvin Colina
Jerry Gil
Aaron Herr
Mike Hrynio
Justin Lehr
Rob Mackowiak
Justin Mallett
Adam Pettyjohn
Yuber Rodriguez
Joe Valentine
Camilo Vazquez
Players I might release or put on the reserve list due to a lack of room:
James Avery
Scott Gaffney
Rafael Gonzalez
Anthony Gressick
Jason Louwsma
Logan Ondrusek
Ricky Rhodes
Eli Rimes
Todd Waller
There are also a ton of guys who played in the DSL this year, particularly pitchers, who could contribute for these teams in 2009, but I don't enough about them to speculate.
I'm not convinced that Juan Duran, Yorman Rodriguez, and Junior Arias are starting in the GCL. It's just that they're three big names that deserved being mentioned, and they could both see time in the GCL next year.
