Slugger Shavings 2054.4 - Callum Call-up
The Louisville Sluggers made a surprising announcement today as they continue to prepare for their opening playoff round against Twin Cities. The team quietly released a statement to the press that Callum Martin, the #6 prospect in the BBA who is expected to be a future ace for the Sluggers, has been added to the team's playoff roster.
When asked about what that means for their starting rotation against Twin Cities, GM BP noted, "It's up to Coop (Louisville's manager), but we have confidence in the kid. He will do well however we use him."
An anonymous source who observed the team's closed practice today noted that Alberto Romero looked particularly upset. Speculation is building that Martin might be getting more than just a place on the roster, but taking Romero's #4 spot in the rotation.
Martin was approached by the press while arriving at the airport on his way to meet the team. When asked if he was nervous about potentially getting his first taste of the BBA in the playoffs, he simply said with a determined look, "I will break them...Twin Cities I mean."

Some teams give their rookies a September cup of coffee ... Louisville gives theirs a playoff double espresso!!!

Re: Slugger Shavings 2054.4 - Callum Call-up
hard to say at this point, but even if he has a bad playoffs, I am hopeful he will be a solid upgrade to my woeful rotation for the next chunk of seasons. I am really excited about my pitching prospects. Pretty soon the Sluggers will be turning into my vision with emphasis on pitching/defense rather than power.

Looks like he was bumping just as you traded him.

I was mostly worried about his tertiary pitch. The potential on that circle change improved, but still needs to develop and he’s aging. Had good numbers on AAA though.

I’ve completely changed my view on age in this game. Maybe it’s the settings but players seem to be peaking much later than I was originally expecting.

This age thing is really messing with my heads...there doesnt seem to be much of a drop-off post-35...which I had expected to see as well
