pretty sure that's wrong. Wikipedia agrees:

"To be eligible for a team’s playoff roster a player must be on any of the following: (a) the 25 man active roster, (b) the disabled list, (c) the bereavement list, or (d) the suspended list as of August 31 at midnight[citation needed]. The only exception is that a player on the 60-day disabled list may be replaced by another player from the team's 40-man roster (as of August 31) who plays the same position (i.e. position player for position player, or pitcher for pitcher), with the approval of the commissioner of baseball."

A reporter wrote:Reds manager Dusty Baker made an interesting observation about the Phillies on Tuesday at Great American Ball Park.

In a conversation about Roy Halladay, Baker said, "I can see him over there watching. I study the other team's dugout, who is paying attention, and I see guys like him and [Chris] Carpenter really, really paying attention. I see guys like [Chase] Utley, he sits by the bat rack and he studies. You see other guys with their heads down or messing around. You could see the no-nonsense guys that pay attention. They've got a couple of them over there. I saw [Cliff] Lee, he was paying strict attention.

"That's why I like my sunglasses. They can't tell where I'm looking."
