MASN: Orioles enter final homestand of season sorting through playoff roster possibilities

Playoff roster will be interesting to see for sure. Notice how nothing was said in there about Felix?

 

As to the pitching staff some tough decisions to make, especially without Felix. Fuji is a disaster potential everytime he takes the ball. But if you are in a situation where you really need a strikeout who else can you put out there?

 

Rotation:

Bradish, GRod, Means, Gibson

 

Bullpen locks:

Kremer

Coulombe

Hall

Perez

Cano

Wells

 

Bubble (pick 2): I don't like any of these really.

Flaherty (probably take him for his experience)

Baumann

Irvin

Fuji (as much as I hope to never use him I probably take him for a strikeout shot)

Webb

 

Field Player Locks:

O'Hearn

Frazier

Westburg

Henderson

Urias

Hays

Mullins

Santander

Hicks (I think being a switch hitter gives him the nod over McKenna)

Mountcastle

Rutschman

McCann

 

Bubble (pick 2):

Mateo - I take him for his speed

McKenna

Kjerstad

 

As to the last spot tough call but in the end I think I take McKenna for his defense and overall bat. Kjerstads left handed power off the bench would be nice but I think McKenna is the better all around choice.Now if Mounty can't go then the decision is made for you.

Think you've got one too many.  26 man roster for the postseason.  So pick just one of your position player bubble.  

[Nigel Tufnel]

I think there are 27 people on your list.  They'll probably have 12 pitchers and 14 position players.  For position players, I think the only question is McKenna vs. Kjerstad, assuming Mountcastle is healthy.

You mean we aren't going to carry a 3rd catcher!?!

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Fixed it I only had 26 chosen but said to take 3 from the pitching bubble. Should have said 2. Now they could easily just three bubble pitchers and just 1 bubble field player. Pros and Cons to both but I lean toward the extra pitcher given how weak our bullpen can be.

Bubble (pick 2):

Mateo - I take him for his speed

McKenna

Kjerstad

 

Between the three, you're absolutely putting Mateo on the roster. They might lean towards McKenna because you can't really rely on Hicks and Mullins staying healthy, but Kjerstad would be the upside bat off the bench.
