Since we have nothing better to do for the next 8 hours, care to speculate on the 25-man post-season roster? I know it can be hard at this point because they can change it from series to series.
My list is below...this is a LOT harder than it looks, at least in my opinion.
IF everyone stays healthy, here is how I see it:
Pitchers
1) Keuchel
2) Verlander
3) McCullers
4) McHugh
5) Giles
6) Devenski
7) Harris
8) Musgrove
9) Clippard
10) Gregerson
11) Liriano (only because he pitches with his left arm)
12) Peacock/Morton
Position players
1) Correa
2) Altuve
3) Bregman
4) Gurriel
5) Beltran
6) Gonzalez
7) Springer
8) Reddick
9) Gattis
10) McCann
11) Maybin
12) Marisnick
13) Someone from White/Fisher/Kemp
Noticeably absent from discussion: Fiers, Sipp, Davis.
Questions: Will they go with 11 or 12 pitchers? Which starter gets left out? I put Peacock/Morton together, but I would think Peacock would get the nod since he has started and relieved. If they go with a 4 man rotation, it has to be Keuchel/Verlander/McCullers (IF he gets his shite together) and McHugh, right?
I left Fiers off...I just can't see who he should replace out of the group I listed above.
There seems to be an over-abundance of right handed short relievers, but I couldn't see leaving any of them off.
Is Maybin a lock due to his performance since coming over? Can Maybin and Marisinick fit on the same roster? I think they are both almost the same player...right handed, lots of speed, great defense, and occasionally they will run into one and hit it a long way.
And I can't decided among Fisher, White, and Kemp. White and Kemp give you the utility infielder, while Fisher gives you a left-handed bat, but Maybin might have taken his spot.

I don't think Sipp has pitched since he returned but I'd like to see him get some opportunities and see if he's pitching any better. Liriano hasn't done shite to lock up the job either so throw Sipp back into the competition and see if he can contribute. Liriano's control issues combined with his lack of strikeouts concerns me. He's not a true reliever, he seemingly hasn't adjusted to the role and I really don't trust him in a post season setting.
9.1IP 13H 8 walks 4 strikeouts.
If I'm Hinch, knowing I need a lefty I'm giving Sipp an opportunity to show he belongs. At the least, you know he can be a competent left handed reliever. Liriano has never shown that.

Too soon. A lot of baseball left.

I don't think we have the one of white/kemp/fisher because we have Marwin.
Late inning defensively we go marisnick/maybin/springer
Bregman correa altuve marwin.
I think we are much more likely to carry both of peacock and Morton than another position player. The question to me is do they value jake over Martes right now. I think so but Martes when on is a difference maker in relief. Only thing I see consistency

I would be really surprised if we aren't carrying three catchers, allowing us to pinch hit with Gattis off the bench (or DH him) and pinch run for McCann
I think the question is if we carry 14 position players or 13. If we have 14 then both Marisnick and Maybin will be on there and there will be a surprise pitcher left off

If I were Hinch I'd set my rotation up for a 5 game series with Kuechal ,Verlander, McHugh, McCullers and Morton. In that order.
McCullers is electric when he is on, but can't get past the 5th. Kuechal and Verlander should put you in position to close it out in game 3. McHugh is more consistent and goes deeper in ballgames. Saving the pen for more critical games later in the series.

Man I was thinking about that earlier. I feel so bad for some of these guys that have been with the club for most of the season but won't make the postseason roster...specifically Fiers. He was such a huge help in June and July but there's obviously no room for him on a postseason roster since he's gone back to his old self
Has to be so hard for AJ to tell those guys they're staying home. Do not envy him one bit
It's probably a lot easier for Luhnow to remove the emotional aspect of it but for AJ...he's in the clubhouse and dugout with those guys for hours and hours everyday
ETA: Gregerson is another good example. He hasn't even been a big part of the bullpen for the most part but he's another example of possibly having to tell a veteran who has been in the clubhouse for years that he isn't making it. It's probably easier for Martes and the young guys cause you know they're going to be a big part of the future
