My 25 (2008 Version)

As I mentioned last week, as we lead up to Opening Day, I will be featuring some analysis of the Brewers and MLB with a special feature each day. Today's feature is "My 25", which predicts the 25 guys I think will make the trip back to Milwaukee with the Brewers this weekend before heading to Chicago on Monday.

Pitchers (13)

Dave Bush, Eric Gagne, Seth McClung, Guillermo Mota, Manny Parra, David Riske, Ben Sheets, Brian Shouse, Jeff Suppan, Salomon Torres, Derrick Turnbow, Claudio Vargas, Carlos Villanueva

Catchers (2)

Jason Kendall, Eric Munson

Infielders (6)

Craig Counsell, Prince Fielder, Bill Hall, J.J. Hardy, Rickie Weeks, Joe Dillon

Outfielder (4)

Ryan Braun, Gabe Gross, Tony Gwynn Jr, Corey Hart

DL (2)

Chris Capuano, Yovani Gallardo

Suspended (1)

Mike Cameron

Notes:

• I think Ned will get his wish and keep 13 pitchers up on the big league team and go shorthanded on the bench. This means Gabe Kapler does not make the team. I do not agree with this decision and think the Brewers should keep Kapler and send Villanueva, McClung, or Parra down, but I have a feeling Ned will get his way.
• This works out temporarily because Joe Dillon can play in both the infield and the outfield, so they have a floater who will play the infield more often.
• When Gallardo comes back, he will either be replaced on the DL by someone who gets hurt or one of the three previously mentioned pitchers will head down to the minors.
• When Cameron gets back, someone will be placed on the DL or one of the three previously mentioned pitchers will head down to the minors or the Brewers will cut ties with Gabe Kapler
• I may continue to add to these notes as the day progresses..... and I did not copy Brewer Nation, I just copied my post from last year about My 25 in 2007.
