What's the postseason lineup and roster? What would you guys do?

RF- Heyward
LF- Upton
1B- Freeman
3B- Johnson
C- McCann
2B- Uggla
CF- Schafer
SS- Simmons

I'd go with Gattis against lefties instead of Schafer

SP- Medlen
SP- Minor
SP- Teheran

OF Upton
OF Johnson
C Laird
OF Gattis
IF/OF Terdoslavich
IF Johnson

RP Varvaro
RP Downs
RP Ayala
RP Walden
RP Avilan
RP Wood
RP Carpenter
RP Kimbrel

Heyward is in center for a reason... BJ and JBlaze won't be starting.

Gattis is really struggling. I can't believe some people want him as the everyday catcher over Brian. Brian needs a new contract from the Braves. He deserves to be the highest paid catcher.

Gattis doesn't want to try. He knows if he does that he will end up dethroning the game's greatest players. He respects baseball far too much to do that.

The problem isn't bringing McCann back; it's committing to five or six years of a high-dollar contract to a 30 year old catcher. The back half of that contract is highly likely to be an albatross, and this franchise can't afford it.

That's what ticks me off. They won't resign McCann because they are paying too much damn money to watch BJ and Uggla hit .190

I can't believe some people want him starting playoff games in the outfield.

What really blows my mind--why is heyward in center and Schafer in right?
If you're prepping heyward for CF for postseason, shouldn't justin be in RF?
