More on the roster

I was just reminded that the Dodgers are required only TO SUMBIT A 25-MAN ROSTER BY NOON TOMORROW. That doesn’t mean it has to be THE 25-man roster. That still leaves another 28 hours before they play their season opener, and they can make unlimited roster moves during that time. I have been led to believe that WILL happen. So whatever 25-man roster is put in place tomorrow morning is only a rough draft, so to speak. We aren’t really going to know who is on this team until well into the day on Monday. The remaining decisions, as I understand it, are all contingent on how many 40-man spots can be cleared. If I had to guess, and this is only a guess, that probably means they are trying to find a way to get Belisario and Castro, and possibly others, onto the team. I also have been told that barring anything unforeseen (like a freak injury such as slipping in the shower) Doug Mientkiewicz has made the club.
