Fearless Roster Predictions

Okay, all the results are in, and this is one man's best guess at a playoff roster:

C -- Estrada, McCann
1B -- LaRoche, Julio
2B -- Giles, Orr
SS -- Furcal
3B -- Chipper, Betemit
OF -- Langerhans, Andruw, Francoeur, Hollandsworth, Jordan

SP -- Hudson (1) Smoltz (2) Sosa (3) Thomson (4) Hudson (5)
RP -- Ramirez, Farnsworth, Reitsma, Brower, Foster, McBride, Devine

That's right, Joey Devine will snag the last bullpen slot, it says here. It seems I had discounted his chances prematurely, as Cox pitched him in three of the last four games, and Joe Simpson said a few days ago that he still had a shot to make it. Given his sharp performance in these recent outings, along with Davies' bad outing yesterday, it looks like he's the pick.

The numbers next to starting pitcher names indicate the likely starter for each game of the division series. Of course, it's probably wrong, as other sources are reporting the planned use of a three-man rotation. Which I believe would be a mistake.

would francoeur bat 5th in game 1 given his .403 average against lefties?
