Morales sneaks in, because there's no one else. Having Duffy and Young out there make him basically an emergency only guy, or to come in when we're down by more than 5. I go back and forth on Gore. As much as we all liked him, remember that he never impacted a game in last year's playoffs in a way that led to a run. IMO, Gore being on the roster makes Ned too trigger happy to pinch run, like he did in the 6th inning of a 1 run game in the 2nd game of the World Series last year. He took out Billy when Billy was clearly hitting well that night, when you didn't know if you'd need Billy's bat again. I think Dyson provides enough of the ability to get a steal late, and Orlando can PR as well. Both those players are defensive upgrades in RF as well. If you want to argue Gore over Gomes, I guess that's ok, because in AL games I don't see who Gomes would PH for. Last year Ned PH Willingham for Moose in the WC game, but with Moose's improvement this year, I doubt he does that. Escobar is the worst hitter in the lineup, but Ned doesn't like to remove him from games.
