Sept. Call Ups...

[MattyJLCC]

The fall roster expansion is about here, so who comes up? Do we see Pie make his Chicago debut? With all the injuries we've sustained this season a lot of the pitching prospects that I would expect to see hit the team about this time have already had a significant amount of time on the big roster.

 

Any predictions or kids to watch over the final month?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Sean Marshall

Jerome Williams

Felix Pie

 

Maybe Moore?

I can't believe it was just 5 months ago when Jerome Williams was dubbed a sleeper by a few fantasy mags. Oh how things can change....

[daske17]

Can we call up minor league managers to see what they can do with a Cubs lineup?

I honestly wish I knew what happened to him. He looked like he finally put it all together at the end of last season...then he just goes off the deep end this year. No explanations, nothing.

Drop in FB velocity, slider dropped off a bit and command (in and out of the zone) issues.

Half the Cubs roster has played in Iowa this year. Lets call up the other half of Iowa and call it good.

I think Pie is the only player who hasn't been called up this year.

[Jon]

Hendry will call up every arm on the 40-man roster except one. This way, he'll still be able to promote someone when the bullpen gets taxed.

[Soriano12]

"Festovich for the Restovich" deserves a callup.

I don't know by Cedeno looks like he needs Vaughn Joshua more than ever. His bad habits have returned with a vengence.

 

I guess Dusty is correct, you can't teach in the bigs.

[Mephistopheles]

Geovany Soto will almost certainly get called up.

[Drew Doughty]

Wade Miller

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Geovany Soto will almost certainly get called up.

 

That's who I forgot!

[NCCubFan]

He's not on the 40-man roster, so somebody would need to be dropped to make room for him.

Fine, I am willing to see Fast Freddie Bynum go. 8)

I really got on some people for writing off Williams before the season. I often said he was being underated by a lot of people here.

 

 

Oops...

Or Rusch. Better still, both.

Oops...

 

That reminds me of all the arguments I had with people trying to tell me Williams was going to be better than Maddux this season.

 

As for the topic, I'm not really excited about the call-ups. We've seen so many kids this season already, it's a bit anti-climatic.

[coreyMVP]

Exactly.

 

This entire year has been a September call-up.

Steroid Policy anyone?

I think it has more to do with poi then steriods.
