Has anyone seen a definitive Post-Season roster? I can't seem to find one.

Yesterday, I know they were talking about Hu and Ozuna not going with the team, and they also mentioned Repko and Young more than likely staying behind. I think they also said Troncoso, and Elbert will be going to the AZ instructional league.

Here's my guess. It's probably identical to just about everyone else's:

Outfielders:

LF Ramirez
CF Kemp
RF Ethier
Pierre

Infielders:
1B Loney
2B Dewitt
SS Berroa
3B Blake
C Martin
Ardoin
Kent
Furcal
Garciappara
Sweeny

Starters:
Lowe
Billingsley
Kuroda

Bullpen:
Beimel
Kershaw
Maddux
Wade
Broxton
Saito
Park
Proctor

Only question I had was whether or not Kuo was well enough to go.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see Furcal starting at SS.

Nope, heard it yesterday afternoon on the news.

I highly doubt Sweeney makes the roster. With Furcal and Kent off the bench, we don't need him.

And you'd take who else in his place? Furcal is a switch hitter, but there's no pure left-handed bat other than Sweeny.

So? How many "pure" .130 hitters do we need?

I'm not for or against the guy, but who else would you put on the roster? A second backup catcher in AJ Ellis? He brings zero. And anyone else you might consider for the 25th spot brings just about the same as Ellis.

And aside from being a lefty off the bench, I was thinking more intangibles than anything else with putting him on my version of the post-season roster. It's very obvious (especially from the NL West Championship celebration videos) that he helps to keep the clubhouse light and loose. That could very well be a huge contribution. Not only that, but he's a veteran who's been on the roster since the start of the season. He's seen all the ups-and-downs, and can perhaps help put the Dodgers' playoff appearance into better perspective for the younger talent.
