The
AJC says that Mike Hampton has been reactivated from the DL and will pitch out of the bullpen. There isn't any room in the rotation for him, and another lefty arm in the bullpen can help.
I'm worried about who's going to be given a spot on the (probable) postseason roster on the pitching staff, and what role.
Here is what I would like:
Starters
RHP Smoltz (13-6, 3.02)
RHP Hudson (12-7, 3.38)
RHP Sosa (10-3, 2.74)
LHP Ramirez (11-8, 4.47) (if 4 starters are needed)
Bullpen
RHP Farnsworth (0-0, 1.29)
RHP Boyer (1-1, 1.71)
LHP Foster (3-1, 3.00)
RHP Reitsma (3-5, 3.96)
LHP Hampton (5-3, 3.50)
RHP Davies (7-3, 4.38)
Here is the lineup and position players I would like:

SS Furcal
2B Giles
3B C. Jones
CF A. Jones
RF Francoeur
LF Johnson/Langerhans
C Estrada/McCann
1B LaRoche/Franco
