Carlin Called Up (Finally); Morton to Double-A

May 10th, 2008 | Author: Chad Gramling

Luke Carlin looks to be the first former Wizard to make his Major League Debut in 2008. He was called up yesterday, while another former Wizards catcher, Colt Morton was sent down to Double-A San Antonio after having been sorely misused during his stay on the roster.

“I got a little nervous,” said Carlin, who until Friday was a backup catcher for the Triple-A Beavers. “The last time I got called in the office, I was released (from Detroit in 2003).”

The 27-year-old, switch hitting Carlin was hitting .387 with 3 home runs and 11 RBI’s in 11 games for Portland. While with Fort Wayne in 2003 and 2004, Carlin appeared in 44 games and had 144 at-bats. He scored 12 runs on 33 hits with 15 bases on balls. If Black actually puts him in a game, Carlin will become the 63rd Former Fort Wayne Wizards player to debut in Major League Baseball.
