Jeff Clement may get call ...

[duckbillgates]

... within a few days reports the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Expected to DH and be backup catcher.

Could be more fantasy-worthy than Saltalamacchia if he's getting a lot of at-bats. Of course, it may take him a month to gain catcher eligibility ...

Oh, and he is already in Yahoo, for the record.

i dont see him as being useful until he gets C elig. but if he does and continues to DH he'll be a nice play

Same here. He is DH only in Yahoo right now and he isn't worth a roster spot until he play C.

Would he be worth a roster spot in keeper leagues?
What kind of numbers can we expect from him in 2009?

To update, per Rotoworld:

Jeff Clement and Wladimir Balentien were absent from the lineup Tuesday night at Triple-A, leading to speculation that they're headed to Seattle.

In a good league you can't wait for him to gain C eligibility or you will miss out. I guess holding him for a full month if it takes that long would not be worth it though. I picked him up and am now hoping that Johjima goes to crap so Clement will get a few games there quickly. BTW, I think that yahoo adds a guys eligiblity quicker if they were just called up and only had Util previously.

Johjima is horrible now...lol

Actually I changed my mind and dropped Clement for Alou. I have McCann and Clement is unlikely to get me much via trade. Hopefully he sits there and I can grab him later if he gets some games at C.

ps Yes Johjima is horrible.

That's kind of weird cause I don't see how both will get regular AB unless someone goes on the DL.
