This morning I decided to look up the playoff roster rules, because they have changed so much in the last few years. Here are some useful links:

Basically, you are eligible to be on the playoff roster if at midnight on Aug 31 you are:
-- on the 40-man roster
-- on the 60-day IL
-- you have not been suspended for PEDs in the regular season
Caveat 1: people on the 60-day IL can only play in the playoffs if they spend 60 or more days on the IL.
Caveat 2: if you are outrighted to the minors after Aug 31, you are no longer eligible to be on the playoff list.
The biggest difference seems to be that the "September Call-Ups" - the 2 extra guys teams get on September - are eligible to be on the playoff roster so long as they were on the 40-man roster.
So which 26 guys do you want to see in the ALDS?
