We made a couple of changes to the playoff roster before the World Series as two guys who had not been used at all in the ALDS or ALCS despite being on the roster were dropped: OF Andy Kelley and P Wennington Romero. Romero was dropped because Gavin Bruni has supplanted him as the lefty long man, and Kelley was dropped to make room for Dong-hyun Kim, finally recovered from injury. There isn't a place in the lineup for Kim now that we have Jeff McNeil, but if Kelly Crumpton doesn't snap out of his slump I might move McNeil to 1B and put Kim in LF. The pitcher taking Romero's place is Kevin DiCostanzo, so good when up and so good in the minors this year, and I'm not going to hesitate to use him in key situations as Landon Knack and Tommy Doyle, my main RH setup guys, have struggled in these playoffs.
