know that Opening Day isn't for a while, but will you humor me and predict what the 25-man roster will look like?
--Henry D., Walnut Creek, Calif.
The position players are easy. The catchers will be Kurt Suzuki and Landon Powell, the infielders will be Cabrera, Garciaparra, Chavez, Mark Ellis, Jason Giambi and Bobby Crosby, and the outfielders will be Matt Holliday, Ryan Sweeney, Travis Buck, Jack Cust and Rajai Davis.
The pitchers are a lot harder to predict. I have a feeling Devine and Justin Duchscherer are going to start the season on the disabled list, and the uncertainty regarding the rotation makes it even harder. But here it goes: The rotation will include Dana Eveland, Edgar Gonzalez, Brett Anderson, Dallas Braden and Sean Gallagher, with everyone on an extremely short rope and Trevor Cahill and Vin Mazzaro waiting in the wings.
For the bullpen, I'll assume Joe Beimel signs here and go with Ziegler, Russ Springer, Mike Wuertz, Gio Gonzalez, Santiago Casilla, Beimel and Andrew Bailey.
