Hunter Pence and Tulowitski should get called up and may be starting, though I think they'll more likely be part timers
Garza should get called up.
I think guys like Justin Upton, the KC guys, Brandon Wood, and the other low level guys (Hughes, Bailey, Maybin, Bruce et al) won't get called up.
That's alot of catching prospects... Just kiddin bro. But yeah, another name that the cafe seems to be big on right now is Chris Iannetta. He is tearing up whever he is right now (AAA i think??). Anyway, I'm no expert on whether he's getting called up or not, but I do know that alot of people here want him to, for whatever that's worth.
EDIT: Plus if/when he does get called up he'll be playing at Coors which can't hurt

Yeah I think you mean Jeff Clement Thats a rather well known one though, and with Johjima hitting well I don't think they need him for the rest of the year. Its been said that Johjima will become expendable once Clement is ready though.
Ianetta is a favorite of mine as well. The question I have with him is will he be called up soon. Rotoworld has nothing on him so I'm totally in the dark.

I knew Matt Clement sounded wrong lol. That guy can't pitch, let alone catch. But yeah, I hadn't heard anything on Iannetta until here at the cafe. Looking around now though, he seems to be jumping up alot on people's prospect charts. But as far as this year, I think we're all in the dark

Yeah, You would think a good hitting catching prospect for the Rockies would receive more hype, but that def. is not the case with Iannetta.
He broke out this year and his offensive potential in the Bigs is still in question. Expect a September call-up (with limited PT) and he'll get a legit chance to win the starting job out of ST.
