The retirement of Masumi Kuwata, coupled with the now official demotion of veteran Hector Carrasco to minor league camp, leave just four pitchers — Sean Burnett, Phil Dumatrait, Franquelis Osoria, and Rule-V pick Evan Meek.
The Pirates are now down to 27 men in camp — one of whom is injured OF Chris Duffy. Thus, beyond a final decision on the last bullpen spot, we now know who will be traveling north to Atlanta. And your 2008 Opening Day roster is:
Ronny Paulino
Ryan Doumit
Adam LaRoche
Doug Mienkiewicz
Freddy Sanchez
Luis Rivas
Jack Wilson
Jose Bautista
Chris Gomez
Jason Bay
Nate McLouth
Nyjer Morgan
Xavier Nady
Ian Snell
Tom Gorzelanny
Paul Maholm
Matt Morris
Zach Duke
Matt Capps
Damaso Marte
John Grabow
Tyler Yates
3 of:
Sean Burnett
Phil Dumatrait
Franquelis Osoria
Evan Meek
