Robert Wooten Up, Halton Down

[splitterpfj]

Robert Wooten...welcome to the major leagues!

[paul253]

So if Roenecke and Melvin stick to the usual game plan I'm guessing Wooten is going to be starting pretty soon?

[LouisEly]

w00t! w00t!

[pogokat]

Why the extra pitcher? Someone leaving tonight?

[torts]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

long stretch of games without a day off, its probably to keep arms from getting overused

[DHonks]

double header soon, too

[logan82]

Nice. I was getting afraid Halton might take playing time away from Yuni. Dodged that bullet.

[RobertR]

Yeah, how are the Brewers going to be respectable unless they give playing time to proven veterans like Yuni instead of unproven rookies like Halton?

[torts]

Nice. I was getting afraid Halton might take playing time away from Yuni. Dodged that bullet.

[Funketown]

Nice. I was getting afraid Halton might take playing time away from Yuni. Dodged that bullet.

 

Hey Yuni B heating up, probably can ship him to the Royals for a few of their top prospects in a few days...

That really didn't need to be in blue. If anybody thought it wasn't sarcastic they need new batteries.

[brewmann04]

Congrats to Mr Wooten. Now the Brewers have their 3 Closers back,Yuni here because JF can't play 3rd base and Halton could not get to play 1st base.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I hope Wooten will get some WOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT chants much like the Luc chants. That would be sweet. He deserves his shot too. I'm glad he's finally getting a look.

[djoctagone]

with this move, the roster stands at 39.

[chadomac]

Robert Who?(ten)

 

hiyoooooooooooooooooooo

[reillymcshane]

I don't know much about Wooten, but he's had a good year, and he could, potentially help out the team next year. He's EXACTLY the kind of player we should have on the team. Bring him up and let him get in 15 games or so. Just get some experience. Let the major league staff see if he's got something that could make him part of our future.

 

Sanchez and Heckathorn might get a shot next year as well. I'm not saying call them all up, but if the opportunity arrives, we should look at the young guys.

[DHonks]

Wooten has had an awesome minor league career and would be in the majors if not for Tommy John surgery. I'm looking forward to seeing him throw.

[igor67]

By the time September rolls around it's possible we might have poached everyone from AAA with even a gleam of major league talent. Kind of crazy.

[JohnBriggs12]

Halton saw almost no time after he stranded a runner on third with less than 2 outs in the last game he started in Arizona, a 2-1 loss.

 

Nevermind that Francisco has done that about a half dozen times since, and he's in there every day.

[Mr Southpaw]

Always liked Wooten, very consistent without really good stuff. Come on Dougie, a few more trades and call up Sanchez and heck maybe even Heck.

[torts]

how did he look? 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 K, did he seem calm out there?

[joepepsi]

Seemed clear RRR didn't like Halton, and as manager it's his right to make stupid decisions and not play the guy. But if Francisco is playing out the year at 1B could we please have Bianchi be the starting 3B?
