SPs: (5) Santana, Perez, Maine, Pelfrey, Niese
RP: (4) Feliciano, Rodriquez, Mejia, Nieve
IF: (5) Reyes, Wright, Castillo, Cora, Murphy
OF: (4) Bay, Mathews Jr., Pagan, Francoeur
C: (2) Barajas, Blanco
I still need:
either 3 or 4 - RPs - from: Everts, Figueroa, Green, Igarashi, Misch, Parnell
either 1 or 2 - Utility Players - from: Jacobs, Tatis, Carter, Santos, Martinez, Tejada
The knee jerk reaction with this rotation would be to to keep 8 relief pitchers, but not me. This team is going to need all the runs it can get.
Igarashi has options, and if Green or Everts do not, so be it.
This gives me two slots for the bench... and I'm picking both Carter and Jacobs for pure bat talent. They can also both play first base and both left and right field.
Martinez and Tejada need to mature at AAA, and wait for the phone to ring.
But that's just me.

boooo Mejia should not make the team
This is the first time I have seen (out side of my own skull) Nieve mentioned as BP stock. I thin k that’s a real possibility.
I also conjure up an image of Figgy/Takahashi (you didn’t mention him) as a two-headed #5/LR duo used interchangeably. Add Parnell and then there’s one more RP slot.
My dark horse is that Carter comes north and NOT Murph (some 2B at Buffalo? And more AB’s to validate his new stance). Tatis & Jacobs on the bench until Beltran returns, then one of them goes.

I'm going to answer this, in length, in my next postting of Q&A...
