September Call-ups

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2015 06:39 PM

Seems to me that there could be a lot of them this year. Definites: Matz - after one more rehab start Duda - not really a call-up but he'll join the club when ready w/o bumping anyone else off the roster so it's kind of the same things Plawecki - just for the 3rd catcher aspect if nothing else. Better he PHs down the stretch than Recker Probable/Possible: Nieuwenhuis EYJ - no point in going out and getting him if you're not going to use him a LHR or two - Alvarez, Rice, Alex Torres Gee? - gee, if you don't bring Gee up now it really spells the end of his NYM tenure Campbell, Dilson - maybe one or the other. Neither hit in NYC, both hit in LV Eric Goeddel - is rehabbing and supposedly near ready Tim Stauffer? - (RHP) former 4th overall draft pick (SD in 2003) was awful w/Minnesota early on but has some good numbers over 44 innings since being picked up and stashed in Vegas

Gee won't be called up. He's not on the 40-man roster, which is stuffed pretty full right now.

According to updates on radio today, Duda hasn't even picked up a bat yet halfway through his DL stint.

Neither is Young or Stauffer. There's always a way to make room. Trying to pass Monell or Tovar through waivers is one quick way. Or two, in fact.

The first batch, who we'll see on September 1 is, according to Mike Vorkunov of NJ.com, four players: Kevin Plawecki, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Eric Young Jr., and Eric Campbell.

Yes, thank you. I wrote that on Saturday, and he was DL'd yesterday.

I used to hate this time of year because all my favorite players would Now Get Benched. Except during a pennant race of course!
