MLB Opening Day 2016: Who'll be the Arizona Diamondbacks 25th man?

With less than two weeks now until Opening Day, there are still a number of roster spots left. Not least is the final bench spot, which offers a number of interesting candidates...

Presuming the Diamondbacks go with a traditional seven-man bullpen (though the question of that 7th man will be receiving an article itself!), that means a five-man bench. Four of those spots appear almost assured. Presuming 100% health, those seem highly like to go to: a backup catcher, most probably Tuffy Gosewisch; outfielder Socrates Brito; and infielders Chris Owings and Phil Gosselin.
