The Cubs officially settled their 25-man roster for the 2008 National League Division Series that begins tonight against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and speedy outfielder Felix Pie made the cut.

The Cubs will carry 11 pitchers and 14 position players during the National League Division Series:

Pitchers (11): LHP Neal Cotts, RHP Ryan Dempster, RHP Rich Harden, RHP Bob Howry, LHP Ted Lilly, RHP Carlos Marmol, RHP Jason Marquis, LHP Sean Marshall, RHP Jeff Samardzija, RHP Kerry Wood and RHP Carlos Zambrano.

Catchers (2): Henry Blanco and Geovany Soto

Infielders (7): Ronny Cedeno, Mark DeRosa, Mike Fontenot, Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Ryan Theriot and Daryle Ward

Outfielders (5): Jim Edmonds, Kosuke Fukudome, Reed Johnson, Felix Pie, Alfonso Soriano

First baseman-outfielder Micah Hoffpauir, who offers some left-handed power off the bench, will report to the team's spring-training facility in Arizona to work out in case he is needed in later rounds of the postseason. He'll be joined in Arizona by pitchers Michael Wuertz and Kevin Hart and catcher Koyie Hill.
