Ups and Downs

Dane De La Rosa and Stephen Vogt have joined Brandon Gomes, Rich Thompson, Reid Brignac, Chris Gimenez, and Cesar Ramos as September call ups.

Missing from that list is Chris Archer. Where is he? In Alabama! Yesterday afternoon he was on the bus with the Montgomery Biscuits heading for Mobile, Alabama. I guess the idea is to keep him in shape for a later in the week call up to the Rays. It isn’t entirely clear that minor league baseball will allow the move. Keep track of him by way of Stacy Long’s blog Biscuit Crumbs.

Along with Archer, Kevin Kiermaier and Robby Price, who just spent a few days with the Bulls have also joined the Biscuits.
