August 22, 200916 yr I thought this would be a fun thread to speculate on who we think might be called up when rosters expand in September. Here's my predictions: 1. Peavy (will just be called up) 2. Getz (activated off DL) 3. Wise (activated off DL) 4. Nunez 5. Armstrong Who's your predictions?
August 22, 200916 yr Fields definitely. I would think Flowers, Nunez and maybe Link too. We'll see you next year Dan Hudson. Edited August 22, 200916 yr by SoxAce
August 22, 200916 yr I'd take Torres over Nunez. Link may be called up, but with Peavy coming back, they'll have Contreras, Garcia and Torres fighting over the #5 job.

Peavy's on the DL, so he can be on a playoff roster. My guesses are... 1. Peavy (off DL) 2. Getz (off DL) 3. Viciedo 4. Fields 5. Flowers 6. Egbert 7. Torres 8. Whisler 9. Marquez 10. Nunez
August 22, 200916 yr I don't know if they'd bring up pitchers and hitters from AAA in a pennant race just to sit them. Viciedo, Flowers, Egbert, Whisler and Marques may not see the majors in '09.

Viciedo, Flowers, Egbert, Whisler and Marques may not see the majors in '09. Having Flowers and Viciedo around the ballclub will be great experience for them, to see a pennant race firsthand. All those other pitchers who don't figure into our future plans (Whisler, Egbert, Marquez, Van Benschoten), forget about it. I'm reallly hesitant to say that Link will get much of a look in the future, when Omogrosso/Nunez/Santeliz all have much better pure stuff, maybe even F. Hernandez now has the advantage over Link.
August 22, 200916 yr Nunez and/or Torres will be a big part of this bullpen next year unless they sign a free agent or two.
August 23, 200916 yr DL guys-Peavy, Wise, Getz. Colon-no. Tyler Flowers Jhonny Nunez Carlos Torres Wes Whisler That's it.
August 23, 200916 yr QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Aug 22, 2009 -> 08:27 PM) what about Ehren Wassermann ? I'm guessing we'll see him just cause he is a known commodity. Plus we'll see Whistler, Fields, and Armstrong
August 23, 200916 yr Forgot about Wasserman, I saw him lose a game in Charlotte (Aardsma blew the save). My dad said he'd never see the majors. 3 days later...
August 23, 200916 yr i remember last year when the playoff rosters were announced and wasserman wasnt on it. He was one of the few guys to still stay with the team.

He was one of the few guys to still stay with the team. Didn't somebody leave almost immediately? Here's a question I have that I couldn't find the answer to on Wikipedia. When did baseball start having September call-ups?
August 24, 200916 yr Doesn't each person called up get a prorated portion of salary equal to $75K for a month (league minimum)? If that's the truth...I think you need to think twice about calling up 10 people and paying an extra 750K for a month. Maybe 5 or so...but sure as hell not 10.
August 24, 200916 yr Brent Morel.....give Beckham a well deserved break here or there.. im excited to see this guy play...ive seen this kid play twice before and he looked really good give this kid a taste of the big leauges also Edited August 24, 200916 yr by whitesoxgt
August 24, 200916 yr Fields Flowers Nunez Wise Peavy (called up prior to the playoff eligibity deadline) Link F Hernandez Restovich
August 24, 200916 yr Flowers, Whisler to have another lefty in the pen, maybe Fields is KW is feeling generousm and perhaps either Torres or Nunez (but not both).
August 24, 200916 yr QUOTE (kev211 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 03:14 AM) Frank Thomas honestly, truthfully, agree
August 24, 200916 yr This will really depend on how tight the race is. I do not see them calling up more than a couple guys if it is a dog fight. Fields and Flowers for two. Maybe an arm or two.
August 24, 200916 yr Fields Nunez Torres Flowers Possibly Whisler and Betemit I also wouldn't mind Viciedo to get called up after the AA playoffs are done. Even if doesn't get a single AB, I think it could be a good experience for him being in a playoff race and being around our other two Cubans for a couple weeks.
