Harris recently tweeted that the recently signed Paul is getting the call tomorrow. Good move? Figured they would go H-Rod or Navarro.

looking at his stats he seems terrible.
im talking about his mlb numbers
Love Xavier Paul.
Seen this story before though.
Walt gives Dusty the tools and Dusty doesn't use them, instead stubbornly sticking with some moldy veteran.
Definitely the correct move. Frazier moving to 1B for now means that we've only got 4 real outfielders, and one lefty bat in the entire offense. You need a guy who can fix both those problems and hopefully have a bit of experience to boot, and the only other guy in AAA who could fit the bill would be Harris... and I don't think we're too keen on seeing him again.
Xavier Paul is Walt giving Dusty the tools now...really? And are you implying that this guy should be called up from the minors and plugged in as a starter, or are you saying that Dusty won't PH with him? Because Leake PH last night.Quote:

Yep. If they were set on getting a lefty up here (and it's hard to dispute why they'd want one), he's a better option than Harris. And we're calling him up in the middle of a pretty strong streak he's had going down in Louisville.Quote:

Released him this past Saturday, I believe.Quote:

What? No. He's in some movie about Wolverines or something.Quote:
