Wieters to be called up Friday

[Clem Fandango]

Mentioned it in the fantasy thread but thought it might deserve its own separate thread. Also didn't know if it should go in minor league discussions or general baseball. Either way...

 

This just in: Wieters arrives Friday!

 

Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail dropped a surprise on Orioles fans during the MASN broadcast a few minutes ago, announcing that top prospect Matt Wieters will be recalled and make his major league debut on Friday against the Detroit Tigers at Camden Yards.

 

"It's time,'' MacPhail said. "He's ready."

 

The decision comes as a bit of a shock, since Orioles officials have been saying privately for some time that Wieters would come up either next Monday in Seattle or on June 9 in Baltimore.
