After deciding on Taijuan Walker as the NLDS Game 1 starter Thursday, the Arizona Diamondbacks finalized the rest of their roster Friday morning.

The team looks a bit different than it did for the NL Wild Card Game, with Christian Walker and Taijuan Walker joining the roster and Rey Fuentes and Chris Hermann being the odd men out.

The team will carry 11 pitchers, eight infielders, four outfielders and two catchers to make up the 25-man roster.

Near the end of the season, he started to hit better but for the rest of the season, he was an out generator. Good defensive catcher though obviously.

I find it hard to believe Kristopher Negron and Christian Walker are better then CO even with all that time off.......

Hasn't seen a live pitch in 2 months..... maybe not. Bummer for CO. With Marte, Dury, CO, Ahemd, Descalso all on contract next year, I wonder what will happen. All quality middle infielders.

Happy to see Baez on the Dodgers roster. Look forward to lighting him up.
