Narrowing it Down to 25

Alright, so let's figure this thing out. Here is what I'm looking at for the Braves roster come Opening Day (April 2nd @Philadelphia at 1:05 PM).

  1. Smoltz (SP)
  2. Hudson (SP)
  3. James (SP)
  4. Davies (SP)
  5. Redman (SP)
  6. Cormier (RP)
  7. McBride (RP)
  8. Gonzalez (RP)
  9. Villareal (RP)
  10. Yates (RP)
  11. Soriano (RP)
  12. Wickman (RP)
  13. McCann (C)
  14. Pena (C)
  15. A. Jones (OF)
  16. Francoeur (OF)
  17. Langerhans (OF)
  18. Diaz (OF/1B)
  19. C. Jones (3B)
  20. Renteria (SS)
  21. Thorman (1B/OF)
  22. Aybar (2B/3B)
  23. Johnson (2B)
  24. Prado (2B/3B)
  25. ????????

So that is what it looks like today...the first 24.

It looks like my man Pete Orr is on the bubble for that 25th spot. Chris Woodward, signed in the offseason to a one year deal, has had only 14 AB this spring due to injury. Pete Orr, the underdog as usual, has battled this spring to stay on the club - he is hitting over .380.

The Macon Telegraph wrote about the race for infield positions on Tuesday, March 20.

I don't know what the next week will bring. I'm pulling for Pete, of course, but I don't know what will happen.
