call--ups Stories - Ridiculous Upside
Austin's DeMarcus Nelson to the Chicago Bulls
DeMarcus Nelson, the 6'2" rookie combo guard with a ridiculously lengthy frame (6'10" arms) out of Duke (ACC Defensive Player of the Year, All-ACC First Team), has been called-up to the Chicago Bulls. Nelson, who started a couple games at point guard for the Golden State Warriors this season,...
Marcus Williams Called-Up to San Antonio Spurs
Marcus Williams has been called up to the San Antonio Spurs, apparently taking the spot of Manu Ginobili, who was recently lost for the season. In 45 games in the D-League, Williams was averaging 23 points, 7.0 boards and 5.3 assists, as a sort of point-forward for the Spurs affiliate, the...
Call 'em Up, Playoffs Edition
March means the NCAA tournament, but it also mean it's almost playoff time here in the pros. Scott's great NBA Ready post last week got me thinking about which D-League players could help each playoff team or potential playoff team. These aren't necessarily guys who will make the playoff roster...
Ridiculous Upside's Call-Up Rankings, version 2
Since our last call-up rankings, James White (#1), Pops Mensah-Bonsu (#2), Dontell Jefferson (#4), and Demetris Nichols (#6) have all been called up, so it's about time we give it another shot. In the meantime, Trey Johnson has returned to the D-League from his call-up. What this means is a...
Anyone Missing Among Detroit's Minor League Call-Ups?
Before today's game, the Detroit Tigers announced which players they'll be adding from the minors once major league rosters can expand tomorrow. However, the names not being added might draw as much attention as those joining the team. First, who's up: Catcher Dusty Ryan, infielder Mike Hessman,...
Larish Up, Lambert Down
The chances of Chris Lambert's stay in Detroit lasting for at least one more start didn't look very good after last night's 2 2/3 inning, six-run effort. I thought he might receive some mercy from the Tigers' braintrust, as demoting him would once again create an opening in the starting rotaiton. ...
Chris Lambert, It's Your Turn
Following his announcement of Nate Robertson's demotion to the bullpen before last night's game, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said he had "no idea" who would take Robertson's turn in the starting rotation. Well, after sleeping on it, he and Dave Dombrowski apparently figured it out pretty quickly....
Jonesy Returns to the DL; Baffling Roster Move Ensues
As it turns out, Todd Jones was so awful on Friday night because his shoulder is still bothering him. Or the 38 pitches he threw in that outing brought the soreness back. Whatever the reason, the Tigers put him back on the 15-day disabled list today. This isn't a repeat. I'm not trying to...
Zach is Back
Immediately after yesterday's win in Baltimore, the Tigers made the roster move we knew they'd make, bringing up Zach Miner from Toledo to start tonight's opener in Kansas City. Miner handed off his Mud Hen baton to Jeff Larish, who goes back down to Triple-A after a rather impressive return to...
Perry to Detroit in September? Not So Fast
After Ryan Perry agreed to terms with the Detroit Tigers on a contract, he told the Tuscan Citizen that the Tigers said they'd like to call him up to the bigs when rosters expand in September. "They basically have said they would like me to be in the big leagues by the end of the summer once the...
