Thoughts from McCalvy here: https://www.mlb.com/brewers/news/inbox-who-are-the-brewers-september-callups/c-292189998?tid=218325368

 

In short:

-Expect many of the 40 man guys who have already been up, but not all.

 

-Third catcher is usually a given, but Nottingham has been out the past month. Depending on his timetable, not out of the question that Bandy or Bethancourt gets added to the 40-man and called up.

 

-For other 40-man adds, Torres-Costa is the most likely: needs to be added for Rule 5 protection anyway, and another LHP reliever makes sense.

 

-Actually thinks it's likely there will be a "surprise", like Taylor Williams last year. (queue Sogard guesses )

Who are the minor league players that can help The Crew when rosters expand. The pen looks a little trashed.

Quinton Costa Torres- He and Jennings could serve as lefty specialists.

Zach Davies- Should take Guerra's spot in the rotation.

Brandon Woodruff- Piggy back with Davies?

Christian Betancourt- Defensive replacement.

Tyler Saladino- Defensive replacement/baserunner.

for those promotions, you need two spots to open up on the 40-man. who is jettisoned?

Orf is an easy call.

 

For the other, Hernandez or Thompson. I wouldn't miss Lyles either.

With Colorado and Biloxi looking like they both might make their Minor League playoffs this season and they are highest two levels can we expect many call ups? I am thinking not until after their seasons are done.

Perhaps a few guys who may have been end-of-bench guys may stay down, but I would imagine the MLB playoff race trumps any sort of minor league postseason.

[brewmann04]

Would be curious to see what happens but since we won't be with Colorado next season I think you see the bulk of call ups from them. Biloxi I can see most of the guys staying their since we seem to have a very god working relationship with them and their in a business too and have a legit chance to win a championship.

Rosiak said a catcher not named Nottingham will be called up on Saturday. We'll definitely have to open a 40 man spot for him.

[recte44]

Bethancourt?

With Williams and Peralta being sent down now and not being able to be recalled by 9/1 will they be able to be on the playoff roster should the Brewers make it?

[jerichoholicninja]

yes

[brewmann04]

I would tend to think your right recte44

[MrTPlush]

Betancourt seems the logical choice, better defense.

[MoreTrife]

Nobody mentions Aaron Brooks who arguably has been the best performer on the CS staff.

 

Briggs on the $$

[KeithStone53151]

Betancourt seems the logical choice, better defense.

 

Bandy is a good defender as well, but I agree with the premise of targeting the better defender. I can't imagine either player will swing the bat a ton. Maybe a few starts at most, because for some reason CC is in love with Kratz.

[StearnBrewliever]

Let's bring all these guys up and make a run.

[TexasCheesehead]

So maybe a dumb question but when will we know who’s coming tomorrow? I imagine the players were informed beforehand

[KeithStone53151]

Does anyone know if we are doing anything for a speed guy? I'm sure Berry is in AAA but is there room on the 40? I also saw we brought in Emilio Bonifacio, any chance he gets pulled up for speed in September? I know Broxton can be that guy, but he could have other uses in a game than strictly speed.

[MNBrew]

Berry was released recently & signed to an AAA contract by the Yankees just a couple days ago.

 

Bonifacio is fast but can't steal 1st base.

[jerichoholicninja]

The speed guy is Broxton. And he can do other things besides run too.

[adambr2]

So far MLBtraderumors has said Nottingham and Santana are coming up. Got to think there will be more right now too.

[jerichoholicninja]

Dillard or we riot.

[MNBrew]

Broxton's on a plane to D.C. today, too. Love Curt Hogg's "source" here -- doesn't get much more definitive than that!

Bonifacio won’t get a meaningful AB so it is irrelevant. He is purely a PR.
