September Call-ups Predictions

Recommended Posts

I thought this would be a fun thread to speculate on who we think might be called up when rosters expand in September.

 

Here's my predictions:

 

1. Peavy (will just be called up)

2. Getz (activated off DL)

3. Wise (activated off DL)

4. Nunez

5. Armstrong

 

Who's your predictions?

Peavy's on the DL, so he can be on a playoff roster.

 

My guesses are...

 

1. Peavy (off DL)

2. Getz (off DL)

3. Viciedo

4. Fields

5. Flowers

6. Egbert

7. Torres

8. Whisler

9. Marquez

10. Nunez

I don't know if they'd bring up pitchers and hitters from AAA in a pennant race just to sit them.

 

Viciedo, Flowers, Egbert, Whisler and Marques may not see the majors in '09.

 

 

Having Flowers and Viciedo around the ballclub will be great experience for them, to see a pennant race firsthand.

 

All those other pitchers who don't figure into our future plans (Whisler, Egbert, Marquez, Van Benschoten), forget about it. I'm reallly hesitant to say that Link will get much of a look in the future, when Omogrosso/Nunez/Santeliz all have much better pure stuff, maybe even F. Hernandez now has the advantage over Link.

i remember last year when the playoff rosters were announced and wasserman wasnt on it. He was one of the few guys to still stay with the team.

 

Didn't somebody leave almost immediately?

 

Here's a question I have that I couldn't find the answer to on Wikipedia. When did baseball start having September call-ups?

Doesn't each person called up get a prorated portion of salary equal to $75K for a month (league minimum)? If that's the truth...I think you need to think twice about calling up 10 people and paying an extra 750K for a month. Maybe 5 or so...but sure as hell not 10.

Fields

Nunez

Torres

Flowers

 

Possibly Whisler and Betemit

 

I also wouldn't mind Viciedo to get called up after the AA playoffs are done. Even if doesn't get a single AB, I think it could be a good experience for him being in a playoff race and being around our other two Cubans for a couple weeks.
