September Callups?
With MLB rosters expanding on September 1st and teams calling up players for the expansion as soon as today or tomorrow, does anyone have an idea of which players on the various team will be called up? Any possible surprises? Elite Prospects?
Also, are the callups limited to the 40-man roster?

Yankees/ Answer
Only people on the 40 can be called up, but the player can be added to the 40.
The definites are Wil Nieves, Ian Kennedy Alberto Gonzalez, Kevin Thompson, Jeff Karstens, and Sean Henn, and Villone and Mientkiewicz's activation.
Bronson Sardinha, Jose Veras, and Jim Brower are very likely to be DFAed.
Other pitching options are TJ Beam, Matt DeSalvo, and Chase Wright.

Also, I just read that they won't call up a third catcher, so Sardinha is likely saved.

anybody heard...
Also, Carlos Gonzalez is on the D'Backs 40-Man roster and was just promoted to AA and has been on fire the week he's been there.

You mean this?
I would assume that the "most depressing moment," reference means he was talking in terms of a worst case scenario, but you can spin it however you want...

Red Sox.
I heard Clay Buchholz will pitch start Saturday September 1st.
Jacoby Ellsbury
I wouldnt be surprised if Brandon Moss, George Kottaras,Chris Carter, Jed Lowrie, Devern Hansack, and Craig Hansen(DL) also saw some time with the big club.
Royce Clayton, Brendan Donnelly (DL)Junior Spivey?

Indians!
Of the guys on the 40-man roster who will probably be called up:
3B Andy Marte
OF Ben Francisco
OF Shin-Soo Choo
LHP Cliff Lee
LHP Jeremy Sowers
RHP Matt Miller
RHP Edward Mujica
RHP Mike Koplove (just for added bullpen depth.)
LHP Juan Lara (just for added bullpen depth.)
Those on the 40-man who are questionable to be called up:
INF Joe Inglett - I think he could be a probable, but Wedge said that the call-ups will be limited this year and only those who can directly help. While Inglett has shown a decent bat in the past, his defense is not a strong suit, and the Indians already have several INFers on the rosters, so I'll consider Inglett a "maybe" rather than a "probable."
LHP John Koronka - He could probably provide another bullpen arm as a long-man option, and probably just to see what they have in him, as they picked him up on waivers, but he's probably less likely than Inglett, being that the Indians have MANY pitching options, both on and off the 40-man roster.
Those NOT on the 40-man, but probably would have solid to good chances of seeing time in September:
RHP Adam Miller - 4/5 bullpen outings have been strong since he returned from his last injury.
RHP Scott Elarton - he's been quite good since coming back to the Indians and out of the bullpen, and does offer ML experience.
LHP Jason Stanford - he was more-less solid in a recent ML callup, and could serve as an experienced long-man out of the bullpen if need be.
1B Ryan Mulhern - he's had a solid to very solid year, and could provide a nice RH power option off the bench, something the Indians don't have much of.
SS Mike Rouse - was up for most of the year as a solid defensive back-up and could be called upon again to serve in that role, especially late in games, or to rest one of the starters.
C Mike Rose - was considered the Indians' 3rd catcher in ST, and probably, could be called up to give Martinez and Shoppach some extra time off to make sure they stay fresh.
Those NOT on the 40-man and have SOME chance of being called up:
RHP Bubbie Buzachero - more like Tom Mastny, though supposedly has a little better stuff than Mastny, but without any ML experience. Being that Manager Wedge hasn't used Mastny much lately, I'm guessing Buzachero either won't be called up, or if he is, won't be used much outside of maybe an appearance or two to get him acquainted with the Majors.
RHP Sean Smith - has had a decent year, but like Buzachero, has no ML experience; would probably be able to fit that long-man, spot starter role, but with others ahead of him, again, he'd either wouldn't be called up, or if he was, probably wouldn't get more than 1-2 appearances at most just to get him acclimated to the Majors.
The likeliest call-ups will probably be from the 40-man "probably" chance list, but I could see guys like Adam Miller, Scott Elarton, and Ryan Mulhern, especially, being added to the 40-man in place of guys like Michael Aubrey, Juan Lara, Mike Koplove, J.D. Martin, Brian Slocum, Joe Inglett, and/or Brad Snyder.
Take care and have a great day!
