The Atlanta Braves are virtually a lock to win their division. That being said, it is time to start considering which players will be on the post-season roster.
Fortunately for the Braves, there may be some hard decisions because as a whole, they have a very solid roster.
Once the post-season starts, there is less emphasis on depth, and more emphasis on role players. This is why we typically see that teams don’t carry a fifth starter, and swap out bench players for guys like Terrance Gore who have a single role.
This also means that we may see some bullpen arms that have been on the roster for most of the season not make the cut for the post-season.
