The rest of the roster

Ok, 12 pitchers set, 13 positions players to go:

Infield:

13. Chipper
14. Yunel
15. Kelly Johnson
16. Crotch-man
17. McCann
18. David Ross
19. Prado (you know Chipper will be hurt)
20. Infante (because he does it all and hits)

Outfield:

21. Francouer
22. Garrett Anderson (because he paid for him)
23. Diaz (he's that good, I wish he could play more)
24. Josh Anderson (he's out of options, and he's pretty good)
*25. Jordan Shafer/Brandon Jones/Gregor Blanco

This last one is the tough decision. Jordan Shafer has done everything he can to prove he's ready but they can send him down so they probably will. Brandon Jones is a real talent but still a bit young (damn we've got a deep roster this year). Finally Greg White (aka Gregor Blanco), was a little hot and cold last year, and was probably only up because we were in a jam. Truth is we only have room for 1 center fielder and with Infante on the roster, we've got an adequate emergency backup. None of theses guys make it. Don't forget the Bobby's love affair with switch hitting (less than) phenom Greg Norton.

*Norton will fill the 25th roster spot and the last seat on the bench until he gets that 8th inning call.

If there are any readers out there, tell me what you think (by clicking 'comments' below) about using a roster spot for a guy that does essentially nothing but pinch hit. They'll through him in a few ball games at 1st and a few in left to give a start a break, but he's definitely not any better than the next guy to fill that void. Is he good enough off the bench to justify it? Bobby certainly thinks so. I have my doubts. I'd rather get Shafer up here and playing.
