August 22, 200422 yr with September a little over a week away, who do you think will get the call for the last month when rosters expand? you gotta think Willingham comes up if only for a few PH at bats I guess Howard, Borland or Neu would get the call too just to have a bigger BP any other thoughts? possibly Sutton or Dillon maybe Messenger gets the call and they boot someone off the 40 man roster... there is always Chip Ambres too
August 22, 200422 yr I think Sutton is on the DL, I can really see Messanger getting the call. What about Stokes? I know he isn't ready, but why not even though he isn't ont he 40 man roster either I don't think. Howard will probably come back up
August 22, 200422 yr Chip has been horrible. So has Neu last time I checked. Gimme Borland(ERA at like 2.00 down in Albuquerque.), Sutton, Dillon, Howard, Gracesqui if he continues to pitch well at AAA, and Treanor. Ryan Minor is at AA too. I don't want Willingham up because he won't be getting everyday playing experience.
August 22, 200422 yr I really want to see Dillon. Maybe because a "Hollywood Story" would be a nice touch to this frustrating season. Wish things had turned out better with his OF try-out.

August 22, 200422 yr Bring Justin Wayne back also. Besides him, I like the list, Ramp. Add Gracesqui to it I guess.
August 22, 200422 yr Willingham better NOT get a call up. It does him no good at this point. Not until the minor league season is over anyway. We could use some more arms like Small and Neu (this guy has better ability than he has shown). I am not too excited about Borland, but what the hell. I dont see a whole lot of help coming from the Sept. call ups though.
August 22, 200422 yr willingham would be worthless we have lo duca now and we will need his bat in the lineup as often as possible with the few games left willingham wont get any opportunities most likely anyways
August 22, 200422 yr I wouldn't want to see Willingham again... but Treanor should re-join the team. Michael Tejera could also be called up (yeah, I know I'm not going to be popular by saying this). I would also like to see Matt Padgett get the call... he's batting around .287 with 19 HR for AAA. He's a legit power-type guy that plays the outfield well. I doubt they'll pay attention to him, though.
August 22, 200422 yr I agree with calling Tejera back up. willingham would be worthless willingham wont get any opportunities most likely anyways 522309[/snapback] It's better than him sitting at home. I think all the people who want Willingham to be called up mean they want him up once the Mudcats season ends. He could be a useful PH. We have 15 open spots anyway, and I know we won't use them all but I don't think he'd be wortheless.
August 22, 200422 yr If we're still in the thick of the race, I don't see many players getting called up.
August 22, 200422 yr Willingham, who will likely have a starting or key bench role next year, should get another chance to atleast pinch-hit and fill-in at first, left and right. Gracesqui and Howard too. Keep Wayne in the minors. He'll probably be starting next year so you don't want to tire his arm with extra work.
August 22, 200422 yr My list: Aaron Small Ben Howard Admin Sutton and that's it. Possibiities include Neu and Willingham.
August 22, 200422 yr That's why I don't think Dillon gets the call. However, Sutton was with the club earlier. Oh, and I left Treanor off the list.
August 22, 200422 yr If Dillion doesn't get called up, it shows the organization just hates him and doesn't want to give him a chance.
August 22, 200422 yr Author If Dillion doesn't get called up, it shows the organization just hates him and doesn't want to give him a chance. 522354[/snapback] i doubt thats the reason why

Gracesqui and Howard too. Keep Wayne in the minors. He'll probably be starting next year so you don't want to tire his arm with extra work. 522340[/snapback] Willingham wont be starting anytime soon for us. Not as long as we have Lo Duca - and he will be here next year. But I would like to see Willy get some time at AAA and refine his D over the next year.
