    You can choose two.

    Who would you keep on the roster of these four?

    Also, who do you think is the better pitcher between Wandy and Zeke?

    I'm not sure for this series, unless you drop Gallo or Springer. For the NLCS, I keep both.

    I think you keep the hitters, or at least one. We should never need either Zeke or Wandy, but might want to keep one for long-relief in case someone gets shelled.

    In either a 5 or 7 game series, you never play more than 3 games consecutively. So with 4 starting pitchers, you'll always start someone on full-rest and never need a 5th starter. With 6 relievers, even if each start only goes 6 innings, you'll never tire out your relievers either.

    Wandy to be a possible leftie out of the pen and (heaven forbid) a long releiver in case one of the starters get in trouble. While I would like a bit more speed off the bench, the 'stros can use Bruntlett and Burke as PRers and I would rather have a PHer with pop in his bat.

    Scott and Wandy.

    With either Palmeiro of Lamb starting, that leaves us with only 2 left handed sticks on the bench. Bruntlett and Burke can adequately fill PR duties.

    Need an extra Bat in Luke Scott and a Lefty Out of the bullpen. Wandy.

    The only other option i would take would be Zeke and Wandy. Zeke has some nasty stuff if he pitches for only a couple innings.

    That was kinda where I was thinking. I've always been more impressed with Seal than I have with Wandy.

    I'd keep Astacio and Scott.

    No need for an extra righty in a 5 game series. Hands down the smart choice is Scott and Wandy.

    the two hitters was a tough decision.

    Went with Wandy so we could have a lefty.

    went with scott because he is a left handed hitter with more power, but Gipson does give us more depth in center field just in case garner wants to pinch hit willy T with bagwell in the late innings.
