if Buchholz gets called up, will the Red Sox let him start or use him in the bullpen for this year?
how long before Niemann gets the call?
Adam Miller of the Indians is another candidate to add to the list.

Adam Miller would already be in the rotation if he hadn't hurt his finger. The word now is that as long as the rotation is healthy, he might come up and help the Indians out of the bullpen in the 2nd half. He's a big time keeper for 2008, but unless there's a significant injury or trade with one of their starters, he may not contribute much in 2007.Jeff Niemann isn't setting the world on fire in AAA right now, and I honestly wouldn't expect much if he comes up this year. Huge cieling, but he's not all the way there yet. Matt Garza has more of a chance to doing well this year if he ends up with a rotation spot.Anyone looking for some offense will want Joey Votto when he's called up later in the year.

Buchholz should really be in the rotation and let Julian Tavarez go back to the pen. Buchholz is going to be a stud.Niemann is on a roll in Durham of late - I think he is up in August. Howell doesn't belong in the rotation - he can barely break 85 on the gun and he should go to the pen as he works well in short stints.Miller has had the finger problem that bothered Eaton last year so he has had a tough time staying up on the bump.
well, we should have already had Gallardo if yahoo didn't screw us by adding him before he got called up. almost used it on Javier Vazquez too.just wondered who else was out there we should be looking at, but it looks like the 3 guys we were considering are the best 3 available. it will probably come down to whoever gets called up first between Adam Miller, Jeff Niemann, or Clay Buchholz.Sammy3469 said:Don't go wasting that #1 waiver priority

Yup, he should be up in September as well.
Knightro
Footballguy
yea, but not before hand. For some reason, the Rays are leaving him in AA for now where he is just toying with pitchers. I would rather see him in AAA.

There is no reason for the Rays to bring Longoria up this year. Why start the clock on the guy any sooner than they need to.

that time passed June 1st.

How?1 full year since he's been drafted?
Capella

I think I'm wrong on this, but I thought after June 1st a player couldn't accumulate enough service time for it to count as one full year, provided he's not sent back down to the minors again.
Knightro
Footballguy
I think you're right Cappy. September doesn't count for service time so if he were to come up now, he'd get less than 90 days. It was no coincidence that Sonnanstine was promoted on 6/1.

Pretty desperate effort not once but twice based on a #1 waiver priority in a 12 team dynasty league. Your Mother's thread must have not been good enough. glllllllllllllllllllllllllll.
No one help Rude please. Your Mother should be handling the baseball operations for that team and Rude should concentrate on football and hockey instead of embarrassing himself.

we punted baseball and are better than half the teams in the league right now. I also basically drafted this team in the supplemental draft myself after my co-owner quit.link to the embarassment?No one help Rude please.

FWIW, I already have Adam Jones rostered...and I was serious about Barton. He'll get called up at some point and contribute this year though some of the other guys on the list are better long term prospects.it was.

I don't know what the current collective bargaining agreement says but after the 94 strike, players with 2 years or less and the bottom 85 percent (in terms of service) of guys between two and three years of service were not yet eligible for arbitration. So there was no date certain, but if a team held a guy in the minors until about June, it could avoid burning a year on the clock.

The Angels are well stocked with blue chippers already on their big league roster (Aybar, Kendrick, etc) but they also have Brandon Wood and Nick Adenhart. I don't know if the Angels are in any hurry to bring them up this year, but they may get a cup of tea in the bigs for the September call ups and then possibly be up for good next year.
The Tigers Cameron Maybin is looking great so far, too. Fortunately, the Tigers don't need to rush the kid. I doubt he'll be in the bigs anytime this year barring injury or something strange. The Tigers outfield is looking bright in the future building around Granderson and Maybin.. especially if Maggs can keep doing what he's doing for another 4-5 years.

Ellsbury once COCO signs up for his 2nd half DL stint! He will be good for steals and runs and avg, not much power.

Buchholz is as untouchable a prospect as you'll find in all of baseball right now. There is no way the Red Sox would trade a potential top of the rotation starter... That said, I don't think you'll see him pitch in Boston in a meaningful way until next year. The Sox are trying to keep his innings low this season.He'll be given a shot to win a starting job next spring, especially if Schilling goes elsewhere.Your Mother

He'll get called up in Sept. though, no?

Might not if they want to limit his innings especially since they should becoasting to the end.He'll get called up in Sept. though, no?

Reid won't be ready until late 08/09
Is he looking this year or for dynasty purposes?

Lastings Milledge should be up real soon - probably before any of the others mentioned.
Also - Whomever said Justin Upton - I think your on the right track.

IMO, it's either Upton or Buchholz.

This came from the dreaded Sports Illustrated So I suspect his arm will fall off today.Justin Upton, Diamondbacks What he did today: Looked like he belonged in the Major League All-Star game. Hit a third inning home run off Fautino De Los Santos, while also flashing a fine arm in center field and a smart approach at the plate. What his future holds: Heralded as a once-in-a-decade prospect when he went No. 1 overall to the Diamondbacks in 2005, Upton underwhelmed with a .263/.343/.413 (BA/OBP/SLG) debut season in A-ball. But it looks like that campaign can now be written off to bad luck or perhaps a lack of effort, as Upton has already mashed his way to Double-A this year at age 19, where he's been one of the best players in his league. The Futures game may be remembered as his coming out party. Best-case scenario: Upton is the best prospect in baseball right now. As such I'm reminded of what has been said about Kevin Durant: the best players do not follow in another's footsteps, so much as they carve their own path. But Ken Griffey Jr. and Andruw Jones are natural jumping off points. Worst-case scenario: Marc Newfield, but that's pretty unlikely. In all probability Upton will either be a good major leaguer or a great one.

OH NO!!!!Adam Jones got called up and looks to be starting for the Ms tomorrow. Sorry Rude
