Who is the call-up gonna be?

[Kyyle23]

What say you?

[southsider2k5]

Just going off of the fact that Morel didn't play last night.

[Kyyle23]

I think Johnson because he makes the most sense given his position and current season, but I would actually prefer Jackson

Morel didn't play, but he's only hitting .200 so while it seems like he may be the choice, it would be odd. Johnson and Jackson have been playing so if either was the choice, you would think they would have been pulled. I think its Wise. They had him at DH so the injury risk was minimal and KW did say he needed ABs. Maybe they were squeezing 4 more.

 

At this point, though, nothing would really be a surprise.. Any of these 4, or someone from somewhere else. Whoever the choice is probably isn't going to play very much, and hopefully Paulie's injury doesn't linger.

Morel should be going to Birmingham, not Chicago.

 

johnson is the right call.

 

He's had a solid year and he's capable of having a hot week.

[Chicago White Sox]

You have to be on the 40 man roster by the end of August to be eligible for the playoffs correct?

 

Right now, we only have one position player (Morel) in the minors on the 40, which is pretty insane. I would think that would be a hugr concern for the front office. If we have a serious injury in September, we'd basically have no fallback options as of now.

 

Also, Johnson and Jackson are unlikely to clear waivers if the callup is indeed temporary, which makes things extra complicated. I still think you send Olmedo down until September and keep one of the two power bats the rest of the way.

Isn't Morel out of options ? I say Johnson.

I'm pretty sure that anyone in the organization can still be called up and eligible for the playoffs regardless to whether they were on the 40 man so long as they were with the organization prior to the end of August and are replacing an injured player that was on the active roster. I think it does require league approval tho. I'm pretty sure thats how it goes.

Morel was all ready optioned once this year. Multiple call ups and options in the same year only count as one.

[spiderman]

Morel is hot garbage. He can't hit. Not that the other options are much better, but Dan Johnson is probably the temporary option that I'd make.

[SOXOBAMA]

I want defense, so it should be Morel, play Youk at 1B.

[Kyyle23]

According to Tdog, DA wins

Huh?

 

Axelrod?

If Morel isn't back to 100% health, then he won't even be that effective on defense.

[Balta1701]

He's also not out of options yet either, he should have 1 left for next eyar.

If you have an injury those rules can still change. You can't put someone on the 40 onto the playoff roster if no one goes tot eh disabled list. If someone goes to the disabled list, you can use their spot. That's how teams sometimes pull off September trades and still wind up with the guy on the roster...someone went on the DL.

[Kyyle23]

Axelrod?

 

Dick Allen. He called Wise a few posts back

First Morel wasn't playing the other night but wasn't play

ing in the previous game either. We need somone to cover short second and third maybe first on occassion. Jackson is an outfielder Johnson is a first baseman who bats left. who doesn't seem to hit lefties very well which doesn't compliment Dunn who doesn't hit them well either. Alexei is hard to replace so I'm guessing we get Visquel or someone else on the waiver wire for a utility infielder.
