Roster Predictions

After coming through out rosters on mlb.com as well as the list of minor league players, I think I've narrowed down who is going to be on our roster to 28 players I am assuming France will be on the roster come opening day since he made a start, but I'm not sure that he's 100% ready to go.

​

My predictions:

​

​

#	Pitchers	Position Players
1	Valdez	Diaz
2	Javier	Abreu
3	Brown	Altuve
4	France	Bregman
5	Blanco	Peña
6	Bielak	McCormick
7	Mushinski	Meyers
8	Scott	Tucker
9	Martinez	Yordan
10	Montero	Dubon
11	Abreu*	Caratini
12	Pressly	Singleton
13	Hader	Kessinger
ALT	Sousa	Julks

*Abreu is suspended for the first 2 games and won't join the roster until 3/30, we will "only" have a 25 man roster for the first 2 games.

​

And I expect our IL to look something like

​

​

#	15 / 10 Day	60 Day
1	Verlander	LMJ
2	Whitley	Garcia
3	Urquidy	Graveman

​

This would, in theory, leave us with 2 40 Man spots since I'm thinking Scott makes the team. We also have Singleton, who is a DFA waiting to happen if he can't get his production to pick up, allowing for our guys to come off the IL, and 1 more player to make the team mid-season (Graveman is likely out for the year)

​

All things considered, not horrible, the pitching should be good enough to keep us in most games even if it isn't dominant, and the lineup certainly has enough bats to carry us until Verlander comes back and strengthens the rotation (and the pen when he displaces a starter)
