Rosters for everyone!

Mike Pelfrey will be your fifth starter. Brady Clark is your bench guy. Joe Smith is in the bullpen. We’ll keep updating you as more news roles in, most of which while just be the likely DL moves and corresponding roster awards (ie Castro and Casanova). Info courtesy of John Delcos at LoHud.

After all the speculation that Fernando Tatis had edged ahead, it goes back to the expected, and Clark gets the nod. Its a good move, Tatis is a one trick pony, Gotay’s waivel was a bad idea, and Tatis will never live up the almost decade old hype and expectations. 

Joe Smith is no real surprise either, having done well at least in the first half last year. Now lets see if he can stay on his game for a full season instead of a half one, if he’s lost that dead arm problem. Though it could be pointless since Dirty Sanchez will in theory be ready in a few weeks. From the first half last year though, Smith looked good, and he seemed to work well in a role where he’s paired with Feliciano. Though one two Smith Pedro punch seemed quite effective.

 Lastly, Big Pelf. Its safe to assume Duq will hit the DL within the hour. Even Pelf admits he faltered at springs end and that Duq healthy goes to play. But here’s your chance Mike. Stop tipping your pitches, start getting some outs, and this spot could be yours. Duq is a stubbed toe away from retirement, especially since a stubbed toe with his delivery will probably cause his entire leg to fall off.
