VenomSox Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I know it's early but who do you think will get called up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Chris Stewart for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan76 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Boone Logan/Montero Ryan Sweeney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxrd5 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 The September callups will come later than usual since Charlotte will most likely make the playoffs this year. Besides providing this invaluable tidbit, I have nothing else to contribute to this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Fields maybe if still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreye Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 QUOTE(rudylaw @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:35 AM) Yes you did. The Sox had a perfect August 28-0. And now hold a 9 game division lead. They also traded for Carl Everett again. Oh, OK. Now I understand why Sept call-ups are tops on our concern list. I mean, hell, if they were 6 and a half out that would be different.

Balta1701 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) QUOTE(SoxFan76 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 07:51 AM) Ryan Sweeney? Hopefully not. He won't be ready for regular time in 2007, even as a backup, unless someone comes down with a major injury. Calling him up at the end of this year would only start his arbitration clock a year before it should be started. Barring injuries, he shouldn't see the big leagues until the latter half of next year. Josh Fields on the other hand will be called up without a doubt.

Serious question here, why is Fields a no doubter and Sweeney isn't? I recall Sweeney having a pretty good spring, even showcasing some of that 20-25 home run power the scouts say he has. Is arbitration the only reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked, Sweeney was still sitting on only like 7 home runs. We're talking about a difference between a guy with a .772 OPS and a .939 OPS. On top of the whole age difference thing.

Well I'm not saying he was hitting 20-25 in the minors right now, but I hear that's his ceiling. And I think he had like 3 or 4 bombs in the Spring. I was just wondering, I wasn't trying to make a case for Sweeney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Sweeney has shown little pop for a corner outfielder. Fields has been consistent all year and is older. I predict Fields, Stewart, Montero, Tim Redding (mlb experience) and Heath Phillips (another lefty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
