August 19, 200520 yr This point might already have been made, so I apologize in advance, but I'm still wondering why Adkins got the call instead of BMac. Wouldn't it have made better sense to work him into games from the bullpen by this time of year? He can also work long relief and seems much more effective than Adkins. I don't know the answer, just wondering if anyone had some insight on this.

I could see this point if it were June or July, but don't you think he's gotten in the work he needs and should start seeing some ML hitters? That and the fact that he seems to have worked out the arm angle problem.
