Los Angeles Dodgers: Playoffs Starting Rotation and 25-Man Roster

The Dodgers have clinched the NL West and are now looking forward to the playoffs. As of now, they do not know whom they will be facing in the NLDS, because the NL East and NL Wild Card haven't been decided yet.

In the NL East, the Phillies and Mets are battling for a division title, and in the NL Wild Card race, the Mets and Brewers are fighting to make the postseason, along with the Phillies, if they lose out to the Mets in the division race.

However, before worrying about who the Dodgers play, the team management must decide who will make the 25-man postseason roster and who will be in the starting rotation. Here is whom I think should make the roster for the Dodger's playoff roster.

Offense

Catchers: Russell Martin & Danny Ardoin

First Base: James Loney

Second Base: Jeff Kent & Blake DeWitt

Third Base: Casey Blake

Shortstop: Rafael Furcal & Angel Berroa

Outfield: Manny Ramirez, Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier & Juan Pierre

Utility: Nomar Garciappara

Pitching

Starting Pitchers

Chad Billingsley, Derek Lowe, Greg Maddux & Hiroki Kuroda (In that order)

Bullpen

Long Relief: Clayton Kershaw & Chan Ho Park 

Bullpen: Joe Beimel, Hong-Chih Kuo, Scott Proctor, Corey Wade

Set-Up Man: Jonathan Broxton

Closer: Takashi Saito

Overall: 13 offensive players, four starting pitchers, and eight bullpen pitchers
