edit - oh yea, and i heard that if joe smith wasn't put back on the roster before sept 1st, he can't be on the post season roster. is this true? how does that work?

This is not true. Players must be on a team's 40-man roster as of September 1 to be eligible for post-season play. Right now Smith is on their 40-man roster. One interesting thing to note is that Pedro is not on the 40-man roster, obviously he will need to be on there this week.
