Who The White Sox Should Bring For Division Series Against Cleveland Guardians

Just like the previous edition on the Wild Card Series roster, this article will take a look at whom the White Sox should bring to the Divsion Series squad against Cleveland. For the most part, it will look the same, but there could be some debate as to whether one player should be there or not. Otherwise, let's take a look at whom will likely be on the roster for the Pale Hose once they take on the Guardians.
Pitchers
Huascar Brazoban
Sean Burke
Erick Fedde
Jordan Hicks
Bryan Hudson
Anthony Kay
Davis Martin
Tanner McDougal
Sean Newcomb
David Sandlin
Noah Schultz
Hagen Smith
Grant Taylor
Pretty much the same staff plus McDougal. McDougal has some great stuff and looks to be a future starter down the line. That might be controversial as he didn't pitch well in limited innings pitched, but with his stuff and ability to throw multiple innings helps. Tyler Schweitzer and Tyler Davis might get considered too considering what they have done for the Sox this season. Drew Thorpe is another option as he pitched well in his rehab assignment, but also has great stuff and can pitch multiple innings. Shane Smith is a possibility as he might be better off being a bullpen arm whom can throw multiple innings as well.
Catchers
Jake Rogers
Kyle Teel
Really not shocking here. If the Pale Hose choose to go with another bat, it could be wise to have Edgar Quero here just as depth and his ability to switch hit. Bart unlikely going to be part of the equation unless an injury occurs.
Infielders
Luisangel Acuna
Chase Meidroth
Colson Montgomery
Munetaka Murakami
Miguel Vargas
Also not surprising here. Not much to talk about here.
Outfielders
Sam Antonacci
Andrew Benintendi
Brenton Doyle
Randal Grichuk
Braden Montgomery
Tristan Peters
The only shocking omission here is Tommy Pham, but the Sox will need to matchup their pitching as much as possible here and Pham looks to be the odd man out. However, if the team doesn't do that then Pham's playoff experience will help. Other options to include if they don't choose Pham would be Rikuu Nishida as he can play middle infield and outfield, plus his speed would play well in certain situations.
