25 Man for October

Alright, with Lou announcing the rotation I started mapping out several 25 man rosters.  I think the one that makes the most sense with Lou's inclusion of Howry (which I do not agree with)  would be as follows:

IF

1. Soto

2. Blanco

3. Lee

4. Fontenot

5. Cedeno

6. Theriot

7. Ramirez

OF

8. Soriano

9. Edmonds

10. Johnson

11. Derosa

12. Fukudome

P

13. Dempster

14. Zambrano

15. Harden

16. Lilly

17. Marquis

18. Wood

19. Marmol

20. Samardzija

21. Cotts

22. Gaudin 

23. Howry

Beyond the above listed players there are a few to choose between for the last two spots.  I believe these two give the Cubs the best chance at success.

24. I think Pie deserves the nod because he can play great defense in all 3 spots of the OF as well as provide great speed on the basepath.

25. Ward for the plus of a pinch-hitter with more major league experience than Hoffpauir.  That is not much of a reason but in talking this over with several fans I believe that most would agree with Ward over Micah.

This is a bummer because I think Marshall is a better choice than Howry but Lou already stated that Howry was on the 25 man for October.

 

Thoughts or changes?
