September Callups Feature Former Wizards
By Chad Gramling | September 3, 2008
As evidenced by the recent call-ups of Antonelli and LaBlanc and some other recent player additions, the September callup period is in full swing. Thought I would take a moment to look into those with Fort Wayne Wizards ties:
- P Dirk Hayhurst (SD) - Has made two starts since being called up. Is 0-1.
- P Josh Geer (SD) - Made his debut on 8/31/08 - Got the win.
- 3B Matt Antonelli (SD) - Made his debut on 9/1/08
- P Wade LeBlanc (SD) - Set to start (MLB Debut) on Wednesday 9/3/08
- SS Luis Cruz (PIT) - Made his Debut on 9/2/08 (4-1)
- P Jack Cassel (HOU) -Returns for another round with the big club
- 2B Josh Barfield (CLE) - Returns after a real up-and-down season. This might be a final shot.
- P Jared Wells (SEA) - Called up yet again. Is there an All-Star roster they can cheat him out of this time?
- P David Pauley (BOS) - Called up on 8/24. Had a chance to start, but they called up Michael Bowden instead and put Pauley int he pen. Finally pitched on 9/2. Pitched two innings. Gave up one run on two hits.
- C Luke Carlin (SD) - Called up for his third stint with the Friars this season.
- C Chad Moeller (NYY) -Adding depth to their catching corp.
- Portland Manager Randy Ready - The rest of the team is there, and it’s starting to fill with former Wizards, so I guess you might as well call up the skipper who last got the Wizards into the playoffs.
