2012 Opening Day roster set

The Dodgers have put the finishing touches on their 25-man roster, and here's how it shakes out:

Starting Pitchers (4)
Clayton Kershaw
Chad Billingsley
Chris Capuano
Aaron Harang

Relievers (8)
Javy Guerra
Kenley Jansen
Mike MacDougal
Matt Guerrier
Scott Elbert
Todd Coffey
Josh Lindblom
Jamey Wright

Catchers (2)
A.J. Ellis
Matt Treanor

Infielders (6)
James Loney
Mark Ellis
Dee Gordon
Juan Uribe
Justin Sellers
Adam Kennedy

Outfielders (4)
Matt Kemp
Andre Ethier
Juan Rivera
Tony Gwynn, Jr.

Anywhere But Pitcher or Catcher (1)
Jerry Hairston, Jr.

Hey, Hairston's a guy with many talents, so one spot just wouldn't do.

Keep in mind also that Ted Lilly is on the 15-day DL, and Ronald Belisario is on the Restricted List for 25 games. Obviously a move will have to be made for Lilly's return (possibly Lindblom). As for Belisario, there's still plenty of time to try and figure out what to do with him once he returns. What's working against the Dodgers is that he is out of options, so there's that risk of somebody claiming him if he's placed on waivers.
