re: Predict Braves Opening Day 25 Man Active Roster

Catcher: d'Arnaud, Flowers
First: Freddie
Second: Ozzie
Third: Camargo, Riley
Short: Dansbae, Hechavarria
Outfield: Acuna, Ozuna, Kakes, Inciarte, Duvall

SP: Folty, Cy Soroka, Newk, Fried, Wright
RP: Melancon, Smith, Martin, Greene, O'Day, Minter, Webb, Luke

My only real questions were Duvall or Culberon and 2 of Webb, Luke, and Dayton. I'm curious if they let Duvall play everyday in AAA until they need him like they did last year or if they keep him as a permanent bench/platoon player. Duvall is owed 3 mil and Culberson is on a minor league deal, so I think they ends up being the differentiator.

With Cole starting the season on the DL, we definitely need a 5th starter on the roster for the first week (I guess it depends on whether they want to start the year with an extra pen arm for the first 4 games though). Our schedule starts with 7 straight games, so we don't have that built in off day after the opener which normally allows us to skip the 5th starter in week 1.
