Joe Dillon called up?!

by Zeyes on Jul 31, 2007 11:53 PM CDT

Unless I'm totally through the wind here at 6.50 in the morning after a 13-inning game, Jim Powell just said on the post-game show that IF/OF Joe Dillon was getting called up...no corresponding roster move announced.

...the hell? Did one of our outfielders trip and strain his hamstring during the victory celebrations or something?

Edit/Update: From the J-S: Weeks optioned down, Dillon called up, Linebrink to bereavement list, Dessens back from rehab assignment.

Hmm

I can't find anything on that online. The only thing I can think of that might make sense is they are calling him up because they did manage to get Linebrink on the bereavement list after all (since his wife had a C-section, they were arguing the surgery angle), so they called up Dillon, figuring they'll need another righty outfielder on the bench. When Linebrink is back, they would presumably send Parra down. But that doesn't make much sense either.

Maybe Powell was making something up figuring no one stayed around for the post-game show.

Even less sense than I first thought

Even if they did get Linebrink on the BL now, they couldn't get him off the list until Saturday, so that's a moot point. I guess ignore my comment...

Oh wow

I wasn't really expecting all that.

Give

Joe a chance. He is better than a 4A guy.
