With the most recent signing, the 25-man roster is really starting to take shape. Here is what I got...
PITCHERS (12)
1. YO
2. WOLF
3. DOUG DAVIS
4. BUSH/PARRA/SOUP
5. BUSH/PARRA/SOUP
6. SOUP? (Long Relief)
7. VILLA
8. STETTER (Lefty)
9. VARGAS
10. HAWKINS
11. COFFEY
12. TREVOR TIME
POSITIONAL (11)
C - ZAHN
Backup - KOTTARAS/SALOME
INF - PRINCE, WEEKS, ESCOBAR, MCGAHEE
Backup - Counsell
OF - BRAUN, GOMEZ, HART
Backup - Gerut
That leaves 2 spots open IMO. The most intriguing I think will be whether Gamel makes the ballclub as a platoon at 3B or if they send him to the minors (maybe even to start working out as a right-fielder). I also think they send Navelson and Mulder (when he signs) to Nashville so that both can provide some much needed insurance incase (when) a starter gets hurt. You wonder if they'll open the year with an additional (13th) pitcher for the bullpen like they've done in the past? If so, who would it be? Tim Dillard or Chris Smith could be options at long relief. If Gamel doesn't make the club, then the Crew could opt for a 5th outfielder over a 6th infielder. I don't see anyone on the roster that could fit this bill currently. Perhaps there is still another signing to be had. Perhaps there is a free agent who will take a minimum salary to stay in the game and be a pinch-hitter late in games (kind of like a Matt Stairs for Philly).
