Who gets called up in September?

[rchap24]

Who gets called up in September? Pie, Weurtz or Hart (not happy bout that), Micha, Who else or any of those you guys think wont get called up?

[BigbadB]

I'd expect to see all three of those guys along with Hoffpauir, possibly Kroeger and a 3rd catcher. Oh, and Rich Hill! :thumbsup:

Do we have any other guys we can throw in the bullpen? Weurtz and Hart have gotten absolutely rocked this year?

Hector Carrasco has had a solid career, but hes pushing 40. Hes been decent in Iowa, so we'll see what thats worth.

yeah Id wouldnt mind just a change of scenery from those two. Give him a whirl

These are the potential call-ups:

 

Pitchers: Wuertz, Ascanio, Hart, and Guzman. Hill is a wildcard here. Given his recent struggles again, probably not.

Position players: Hoffpauir and Pie. My guess is Koyie Hill is added to the 40-man and brought up. I just don't think Fox and Fuld will get call-ups.

Whats going on with Guzman is he still hurt?

[Schwarber Fan]

Probably Wuertz, Ascanio, Koyie Hill, and Hoffpauir

[rchap24]

Probably Wuertz, Ascanio, Koyie Hill, and Hoffpauir

 

I would have to think Pie to if he's healthy,no?

He's throwing on the side, waiting to start rehabbing.

 

We'll likely see Hoffpauir, Pie, Koyie Hill if they add him to the 40 man, Hart, Wuertz, Ascanio and Guzman whenever he's ready.

[rchap24]

Cool, I felt like this was the first year in a while that they weren't mid-season talking about bringing up Guzman to get a spot start

[Rusch33]

Dubois?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Dubois?

 

I don't think there's room to add Dubois to the 40-man if we add Koyie Hill to be the third catcher.

[SouthSideRyan]

Somebody's going to have to be removed/60 day DLd to make room for Hill/random 3rd catcher assuming Gooz is activated.

 

Depending on what Chad Fox's deal is (made up injury or actually hurt from pitching 6 innings), he could be 60 dayed, and Harben and Jake Fox are pretty worthless and prone to being DFAd.

The Creature hasnt played in a little while. Is he hurt?

[rchap24]

Is he hurt...how'd he end up doing after we traded him to Cleveland

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Is he hurt...how'd he end up doing after we traded him to Cleveland

 

He played very poorly after the trade to Cleveland and really hasn't shown anything until returning to Iowa this year.

But he has played well in Iowa this year? or were you just saying he has been playing in Iowa

[Vinestal]

Why not Wellington Castillo isnt he playing well at AA? he could give Soto some much needed rest.

[shnsajax]

I would think Cashner would.

[Guest]

I would think Cashner would.

 

I highly doubt it.

[NCCubFan]

I would think Cashner would.

 

I highly doubt it.

Agreed; he hasn't pitched above Boise et; they certainly wouldn't call him up now, use a spot on the 40-man roster, and start the option clock ticking. Maybe if he signed a bit earlier and was liights out from the beginning.

Yes, I was saying he hasn't played well up until he got to Iowa this year and began to hit again.
