In Twitter form, if you’re into that:

A pretty full and complete roster, I would say. A few things to note when looking at the rosters:

• The Twins are going into the series with only two lefties in the bullpen - Rogers and Smeltzer.
• Arraez, Kepler, and Gonzalez must be ready to go and recovered from their respective injuries as they’re listed on the roster.
• Notable names left off of the roster (in my opinion): Willians Astudillo, Lewis Thorpe, Martin Perez.

What do you think of this series’ roster? Anyone that should have been on there that isn’t? Anyone who is on the roster that shouldn’t?
