September Call Ups!

Possible Minor League players to watch in September with their respective big clubs:

David Price, LHP, Tampa. David is 12 -1 on the season with a 2.30 ERA and 109 strike outs. He as moved 3 levels this season starting in the Florida State League, moving to the Southern League, and recently making the jump to AAA. It is very rare for someone to make this many jumps in one year and to cap it off with a call to the show so it may be a long shot. However, if the Rays need an arm down the stretch, he may get the call when the rosters expand.

Micah Hoffpauir, 1B, Cubs. Micah has had a stellar year with the Iowa Cubs batting hitting .365 with 25 HR and 99 RBI. He spent a short time with big club early in the season were he hit .378 in 19 games. The Cubs are definitely set down the stretch at 1B, but when the roster expand, Micah may get the call to give Lou Piniella an extra bat off the bench and it will allow him the ability rest Lee if need be.

Mtchell Boggs, RHP, Cardinals. Boggs has spent some time with the big club this year as the Cardinals pitching staff has concentrated on the ER more than ERA with all the injuries. He has gone 8-3 in the Pacific Coast League with a 3.57 ERA. If the Cardinals are going to make a last ditch effort at the Wild Card, they are going to need all the help they can get.
