Definitely early to call up Moose, in my opinion... I'd like to see them give him another month at Class AA, then the month of June in Wichita. If he goes to Wichita and keeps up the high performance, call him up post-All Star Break.
Still brings him up early to generate some hope and etc (can you imagine how it would be received to promote this kid while cutting say... Jose Guillen), but also gives him a little more time to establish himself at the minor league level.
The other benefit (this is mostly a joke)... maybe while he's at Class AAA, his baseball-leader-Jesus skills can give that worthless POS Alex Gordon the kick in the pants he needs and deserves.
On the other front... I wonder what kind of return could be received for a package of Callaspo and DeJesus. Two young, cheap players who would be GREAT in the bottom of a good lineup (well, Callaspo at least. DeJesus would probably struggle to do anything but lead off).
