Tony La Russa, despite some early-season issues, has really helped this team along. They are all in it for the common goal of winning the World Series. Everyone wants to see them do it but they are going to have to put their best foot forward in time for the playoffs. This team is good and deep which means that some tough decisions will be made when constructing that perfect playoff roster.

Tony La Russa and Rick Hahn are going to manage this with one goal in mind. These are three players that have contributed to this team but might not make the playoff roster:
