So what are we looking at in terms of the 25 man roster?
Revere
Pillar
Buatista
Colabello
Smoak
Goins
Tulo (if healthy) - I guess Kawasaki if he isn't
Pennington
Navarro
Martin
Donaldson
EE
Price
Dickey
Estrada
Stroman
Buerhle
Hutch
Osuna
Hawkins
Hendriks
Sanchez
Lowe
Cecil
Loup
Notable guys left off:
Thole (can't have 3 catchers)
Carrera
Scultz
Does that seem right?
Do you put Carrera on and leave Loup off?

Personally everything on your list I agree upon, the only thing that I'd really want to see is for Gibby to stop putting Carrera out there right now and see what Pompey has. He's raw, but he's shown before (2014 callup) that he can play in the big leagues. I do understand that the confidence issues that Dalton had earlier in the year probably still lingers on Gibby and AA's mind, but the kid has potential to be better than Pillar at CF once he starts believing in himself and his skills. He didn't whine about being sent all the way back to class AA this year and managed to fix his game in the minors. Just give the kid a shot because he's certainly a better ball player than Carrera.
Other than that, yeah, I'd like to see Gibby and AA take Loup off the playoff roster and just have Papa Buehrle take that second lefty/loogy role for the postseason run. Mark Buehrle is the glue that holds that pitching staff together and he deserves another shot at glory in 2015.
