Who should make the Braves’ playoff roster?

The Braves, after a huge win over the Phillies on Thursday, are now on the brink of clinching the NL East title with their magic number at just four to eliminate Philadelphia. Thursday’s win was a prime example of how great a factor depth can play down the stretch, and in the playoffs roster depth is even more crucial. The Atlanta roster is currently inflated with September call-ups, but in just over a week the club will be forced to pare down to a 25-man roster. There are multiple roster spots that could be up for grabs, and late-season trends are likely to play a major role in how the organization builds its postseason roster.
