Post season line up and roster
Ok we all did this back in March, i.e. predicting, debating, and listing our preferred lineup and roster to start the season. Let's do it again for the post-season!
Here's mine: Stubbs Phillips Votto Rolen Bruce Gomes Cabrera Hernandez (unless Arroyo is pitching) Rotation Arroyo Cueto Volquez Bailey/Wood (depending on the line up they're facing) Pen Bray Ondrusek Rhodes Massett Chapman Cordero (Bailey or Wood are the long man) Bench Janish Hannigan Cairo Heisey Nix Fransisco (depends how healthy Nix is. if Nix can play the outfield, I'd drop JF and add Smith to the pen) |

Re: Post season line up and roster
The rotation is going to depend heavily on who and where the Reds will be playing.

Now next season with a $4MM option, I think it will be time to give Janish the job. |

Re: Post season line up and roster
Do you guys really not see Harang making the post-season roster?

Looks like Dusty's rolling his out tonight.

Though, if Walt truly wants Dusty (I don't believe he does and that it's Castellini who "made" Walt offer Dusty and extension) to sign the extension, then he gives Dusty Harang for the playoffs. I'm pretty certain that Baker wants Harang, but even Baker's tired of him pitching poorly. I think if Walt wants to sabotage the negotiations between the REDS and Dusty, he holds someone back from the playoff roster that Baker wants, as long as it's someone that Walt feels shouldn't be on the roster.

Re: Post season line up and roster
From my observations it doesn't seem like Walt and Dusty have a similar philosophy for winning a Championship. It's just my observations.
On Harang, I can think of 20 players I'd rather have than him. I really wasn't exaggerating. When you're talking about non-starters for the playoffs, you're talking about "specialists". I just can't think of anything Harang specializes in (such as inducing a GBDP, a pop-up, a strikeout, is dominant against RH's or LH's, stealing a base, pinch-hitting a single, pinch-hitting an extra-base hit, playing Defense, etc.). There are several other pitchers/players who would be more useful Last edited by Kingspoint; 09-28-2010 at 07:40 PM. |
