The Phillies play their last pre-season game tonight. I'll do another prediction if they don't announce the roster right away after. For now, this is it though:
- Line-Up: Pierre-LF, Polanco-3B, Rollins-SS, Pence-RF, Victorino-CF, Thome-1B, Ruiz-C, Galvis-2B
- Rotation: Halladay, Lee, Hamels, Worley, Blanton
- Bench: Mayberry, Wigginton, Nix, Schneider, Orr, Podsednik
- Bullpen: Papelbon, Qualls, Bastardo, Kendrick, Herndon, Savery
- DL: Contreras, Stutes, Howard, Utley, Martinez
- In the running: Luna, Valdes
- 40 man, minors: Brown, Kratz, De Fratus, Aumont, Schwimer, Diekman, Hernandez, Gillies, Valle, Ramirez
When Contreras comes back in a week, I'd bet on Podsednik going down. I'd bet on Stutes knocking Herndon down as well- call me crazy. Martinez will eventually replace Orr, Utley replaces Galvis, and Howard…. I'm really not sure.
