I don't like Barnes there. Maddox on the other hand has pitch better.
Will there be a LOOGY at all?

It would be a terrible mistake to include 5 starters on this roster.

The Sox playoffs starts tomorrow and this is it for threads? How about cancelling all the other discussions and starting fresh? This site needs some energy and relevance.
Fister on the other hand has been effective against Houston. He is my nbr 3 starter in the Astros series.
Fifth starter is usually left off unless he’s a reliever who was stretched out to start. Fister or Porcello would be bad pen options anyway. You’re gonna have to pick one
I think Nunez should not be on the roster unless he is healthier than he was when he attempted to come back from his injury. But I'm not sure of the rules for replacing injured players in the postseason.
A player who becomes injured can be replaced on the roster, but is out not only for the remainder of the current series, but the next one as well.
The Yankees could go 0-162 and it wouldn't be enough
You could be right. I did so for two reasons: 1) i don't think Farrell has yet made up his mind about the 4th starter and maybe wants the Astros manager to be in the dark as well; 2) six relievers should be enough and can't think of anyone left out worth putting on the ALDS roster. I am, for example, a fan of neither Abad nor Scott.
I don't have to pick anyone. Farrell does. I personally would go with Sale, Pom, ERod, and Fister, but it's hard to leave off a $20M starter.
I just checked the WEEI and CBS versions, and they both mostly agree with me--all five starters, same position players, plus five of the same relievers but Scott instead of Barnes for #6. I'm not saying I'm right, only that I might be.
Well I guess it is worth the risk to include Nunez on the ALDS roster.
Says the guy with 51 posts.
WEEI - Rob Bradford is a dope
CBS - Dan Roche said it was ERod OR Porcello
Even if you're "right" in picking who Farrell grabs, it's the "wrong" decision.
The real ALDS slide was started by a Yankees fan. Good to see your name.
