An article on the Dodgers' official website sheds plenty of light on just who's in and who's out as Opening Day is less than week away. Based on their projections, here is the 25-man roster:
Catchers (2)
Rod Barajas
Hector Gimenez
Infielders (6)
James Loney
Juan Uribe
Rafael Furcal
Jamey Carroll
Ivan De Jesus
Aaron Miles
Outfielders (6)
Matt Kemp
Andre Ethier
Jay Gibbons
Marcus Thames
Tony Gwynn
Xavier Paul
Starting Rotation (4)
Clayton Kershaw
Chad Billingsley
Ted Lilly
Hiroki Kuroda
Bullpen (7)
Jonathan Broxton
Hong-Chih Kuo
Kenley Jansen
Matt Guerrier
Blake Hawksworth
Mike MacDougal
Scott Elbert
DL (4)
Casey Blake
Dioner Navaro
Jon Garland
Vicente Padilla
Three names who look to be on the outside looking in are A.J. Ellis, Juan Castro, and Lance Cormier. In some cases, it's a matter of keeping guys out of options (Paul, Gimenez) over those with options (Ellis). Castro will stay back in Arizona to work with minor leaguers, but will be given the chance to hook up with another club. Cormier refused an assignment to the minors (which Ramon Troncoso accepted), and could possibly be added at the last minute over Elbert.
