Predicting 25 Man Roster...

This is what I think will be the 25 man roster come opening day:

Lineup:
1) Ryan Theriot SS
2) Kosuke Fukudome RF
3) Derrek Lee 1B
4) Aramis Ramirez 3B
5) Marlon Byrd CF
6) Alfonso Soriano LF
7) Mike Fontenot 2B
8) Geovany Soto C
9) Pitcher P

Starting Rotation:
1) Carlos Zambrano
2) Ryan Dempster
3) Randy Wells
4) Carlos Silva
5) Tom Gorzelanny
( The 4th and 5th starters can be switch.)

Bullpen:
Closer-Carlos Marmol
Set-up lefty-John Grabow
Set-up righty-Esmalin Caridad
Long relief-Sean Marshall
RP-Jeff Gray (taking gamble when he has not even pitch)
RP-James Russell
RP-Blake Parker or Andrew Cashner or Mike Parisi

Bench:
1) Koyie Hill C
2) Kevin Millar 1B/LF
3) Jeff Baker U
4) Xavier Nady 1B/RF/LF
5) Tyler Colvin

I think Colvin will be on the major league roster until Nady can play the field then he will be send down to the minors to play everyday. The Cubs will then call up U Chad Tracy.

Players who will/might get sent down to minors but will be called up eventually during the season due to injuries or players not producing while they are.
1) Starlin Castro SS
2) Tyler Colvin OF (depends if he makes team out of spring training)
3) Andrew Cashner P
4) Blake Parker P
5) Brian Lahair 1B/OF (possibly)
6) Micah Hoffpauir 1B/LF/RF (possibly)
7) Chad Tracy U (same as Colvin)

To start season on DL:
1) Angel Guzman RP
2) Ted Lilly SP
3) Possibly Mike Parisi if he does not make team and they do not want to give him back.

So that is mine, thoughts on it. I will have another one when spring training ends.
