HahnSolo Old-Timey Member Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 For the World Series, does anyone think we'll see a roster adjustment anywhere?I'm guessing no*, unless Uribe makes a miraculous recovery (maybe Murphy should visit him and place his hand on the injury to make it all better?). With the DH it might be nice to have Uribe if healthy.* also assuming Cespedes is healthy.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 I think they might make a bullpen swapout after the ALCS plays out, perhaps depending on the makeup of the opponent. The Jays' three biggest bats (by far) are all right-handed, so the need for Gilmartin is perhaps lessened.

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 I'm not sure Reynolds would be the victim of such a comeuppance. They Mets still need a backup shortstop and it's an open question whether Johnson or Uribe qualifies to Terry's satisfaction.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I was thinking the same thing. I see that Uribe has played quite a bit of shortstop during his career, but I don't know what his current capabilities are. Uribe may bump Nieuwenhuis instead of Reynolds.

Still, manager Terry Collins seemed reluctant to place the 36-year-old on the 25-man roster for the World Series following a nearly month-long layoff.
