A Look at the Active Roster

That earthquake I felt the other day? Turns out it was a fraternity brother doing his best attempt to knock the house down. Could've fooled me. I wrote this a while back, and after a year living in the man-cave, I'm readier to leave this place than Jay Cutler in Chicago. Ouch, that one was rough.

I was wondering what the active roster is shaping up to be, now that the last roster spot has been given away. Granted, things could change, but this is my attempt at piecing together what the 25-man roster will look like come Opening Day.

Catchers (2):
Yadier Molina
Gerald Laird

Infielders (6):
Albert Pujols
Skip Schumaker
Ryan Theriot
David Freese
Nick Punto
Tyler Greene

Outfielders (5):
Lance Berkman
Matt Holliday
Colby Rasmus
Jon Jay
Allen Craig

Starters (5):
Chris Carpenter
Adam Wainwright
Jaime Garcia (L)
Jake Westbrook
Kyle Lohse

Relievers (7):
Ryan Franklin
Jason Motte
Brian Tallet (L)
Kyle McClellan
Trever Miller (L)
Mitch Boggs
Fernando Salas

I would put together a projected starting lineup, but we all know that is about as useful as a Cubs jersey in October. Those with outside chances to sneak a spot on the team: Eduardo Sanchez, Ian Snell, Miguel Batista, and Dan Descalso.
