rookies coming from AAA

[Lips]

I liked what I saw today of Garrett Jones from Pittsburgh. Any advice on whether he will make it in the bigs?

Also, are there any other guys recently called up that are going to make an impact (I already picked up and then traded Andrew McCutchen, any others like him I might have missed as of recent?

Possibly Casey McGehee of Milwaukee... shown some good power and hitting in front of Braun I think...

I'm in 2nd place right now, Keeper league, can keep 8 players for total of 3 years.

I just made two trades for pitching strength: I gave up McCutchen and Lowell for Josh Johnson (Johnson on last year of contract, lowell and McCutchen are 1st)

I'm looking for a young player that recently got called up and is going to make a contribution and play everyday. Any ideas?

Check out Gordon Beckham ... heating up this week for the ChiSox. SS eligible ...

[Lips]

Beckham's taken, thanks though. Any advice on Garrett Jones?

Beckham's taken, thanks though. Any advice on Garrett Jones?

No idea about Jones .... never seen him play, never read anything about him.

I'd go with Jake fox or Reimold

i know he is not an every day player but you could trade for hanson. giving up one of those pitchers who are in the last year.
