Other players who would have been eligible had they remained on 40-man rosters were outfielder Alex Dickerson (San Diego) http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authentic-joey-rickard-jersey , catcher Carlos Perez (Texas), pitcher Jose Ramirez (Atlanta) and infielder Jefry Marte (Los Angeles Angels).Arizona infielder Ketel Marte also would have been eligible, but he will earn $2 million in the second season of a $24 million, five-year contract.Among the arbitration eligible super-2s are:—pitchers Matt Boyd (Detroit), Eddie Butler (Texas), Adam Conley (Miami), Ryan Dull (Oakland), Nick Goody (Cleveland) Pedro Alvarez Jersey , Junior Guerra (Milwaukee), Travis Jankowski (San Diego), Taylor Rogers (Minnesota), Tony Wolters (Colorado);—catchers Curt Casali (Cincinnati), Austin Hedges (San Diego) and Kevin Plawecki (New York Mets);—shortstops Jose Peraza (Cincinnati) and Trea Turner (Washington);—infielders Matt Davidson (Chicago White Sox), Brandon Drury (San Diego) and Ronaldo Torreyes (New York Yankees);—outfielders Byron Buxton (Minnesota) and Max Kepler (Minnesota); and—outfielder-first baseman Blake Swihart (Boston). MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers put Xavier Cedeno on their roster for the NL Championship Series against Los Angeles, adding another left-hander to their deep bullpen for the matchup with the Dodgers’ power-packed lineup.Cedeno had a 1.13 ERA in eight innings over 15 games after he was acquired in a trade with the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 31. Cedeno replaces slick-fielding outfielder Keon Broxton, who homered in Game 3 of the NLDS sweep against Colorado.Left-handed hitting Max Muncy has a team-high 35 homers for the Dodgers. Two more left-handers http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authentic-tim-beckham-jersey , Cody Bellinger and Joc Pederson, are next with 25 each.“We made a choice basically to add another pitcher, because it could be a seven-game series,” manager Craig Counsell said. “We add another left-hander that we think matches up well in kind of a number of situations. So we add extra potential outs. And then the sacrifice is we’re losing a baserunner, a defender, and we’re losing a hitter.”The Dodgers are sticking with 12 pitchers and 13 positions players, but made one change from the Division Series. They switched left-handers for the NLCS, with Julio Urias taking Scott Alexander’s roster spot.The hard-throwing Urias had no record and didn’t allow a run in three games this season. He returned to the big leagues in mid-September after missing more than a year following surgery on his left shoulder.“The value of Julio to come in and get one to four or five outs Anthony Santander Jersey , I think that for us with our bullpen construction, we feel comfortable with that,” manager Dave Roberts said.Alexander was 2-1 with a 3.68 ERA and three saves this season. He made one appearance in the NLDS against the Braves, pitching a scoreless ninth inning in Game 3.
