playoff rosters

what is the rule on playoff rosters on who can be on the roster

[Paul77]

Your playoff eligible list are the 25 active players on your roster on August 31st, your 15 day dl, your 60 day dl and anyone on the bereavement list. Before each round of the playoffs the team builds a 25 man roster from this pool.

 

For each person on the 60 day dl, you get to add one replacement player from your 40 man roster to your playoff eligible list, however that player must play the same position as the injured player. Simple right?.

so no gwynn or Villanueva

Id imagine they would call up Vilanueva after a start so they dont waste the shot of not having him.

Could they put Villanueva in at 3rd base against one batter and move Koskie to the 60-day DL?

Villanueva can be called back up before Sept 1st. Gwynn probably will be left off the postseason roster, however, there's a slight chance he could make the cut because having a superior defensive outfielder and pinch runner may have more value than an extra arm, because of all the off days.

Why stop there? Bring up a bunch of guys from the minors then put them on the major league DL. Then send them down to the minors on "rehab assignments". We can make room for everyone! Come on Doug, work the system!
