The lovely wife of Omaha (!) reliever Disco Hayes told me earlier this evening that she ran into Tug Hulett in the team hotel, and Hulett said he was on his way up to join the Big club.
I haven’t seen this anywhere else yet (although I have been away from the computer watching some College World Series action), so h/t to Tracy for breaking the story.
I wonder what the accompanying roster move(s) will be…I’ll post updates as I get them.
As promised…UPDATE: There is speculation, which is not confirmable at this point, that Coco Crisp is headed to the DL. I would guess that moves Teahen to the outfield, which sort of explains calling up an infielder.
UPDATE AGAIN: Oh. The speculation is pretty confirmable after all. Cue Dutton.

Well DM and Trey do have a fondness for middle infielders. An unhealthy obsession actually.

They do. By the end of the season, I expect ALL the pitchers, catchers, outfielders and corner infielders to be injured and replaced with more middle infielders.

And that’s a totally reasonable expectation.
