Taylor Green called up

[Oldcity]

I guess we'll see if my source is truly a source, but I've been told Taylor Green has been called up. Edited September 7, 2011 by Anonymous

Woo-hoo!

[ilovebeer]

Good, is the reason there calling him up now, is no he can play in the post season?

[Oldcity]

I would assume. I'm sure this goes back to the "Why do we have 13 pitchers?" thread. Probably Dillard going down... Just my guess there though.

[gebc1997]

Who's Taylor Green??? LOL

[And That]

Confirmed.

[trwi7]

YES! I'd start him.

[Oldcity]

Awesome. Curious to see how they'll use him. I doubt they start him full time, but definitely would like to see him at second and third with Hairston playing more short. Great move that was frankly long overdue.

[Bombers]

This is great news!! Welcome to the club Taylor!!

[homer]

Didn't really have anything else to prove in AAA. Good to see he'll be on the playoff roster.

[theavrock]

Wow! Better late than never I suppose. About time and a promotion well earned. Also love that we can now put to rest the question as to whether or not Green was on the PTBNL list for KRod.

[fondybrewfan]

YES! I'd start him.

Probably about a 0% chance of that happening. He will be a pinch hitter type and will probably gets some starts after the Brewers clinch. I am not expecting any more than that

 

Yuni is the far bigger problem right now IMO and I don't know that they have an easily solution for that problem. I am skeptical that Hairston will shift to SS when Ricke comes back.

Start Free Taylor Green.

[And That]

Awesome.

Awesome job with the info!

[young guns]

Start Free Taylor Green.

And there was much rejoicing. Brb, gotta go edit my sig.

[mrpackersfan1]

Great news. Now I can't wait until thursday for the PTBNL list. I'm still guessing McClendon, and I have a feeling Bucci is on it

[SoCalBrewfan]

Yay! I approve heartily, and think Green could play a role, if he's allowed to.

 

With 29 games to go, a pretty safe lead, and the level of performance from our infield, what's the O/U on games for Green the rest of the way?

[Hofbraunhaus]

Tyler Green being called up according to FSN Wisconsin.

[pogokat]

well deserved...congrats taylor---the nicest guy in the system

[zurch1818]

I can't believe I just saw Tyler Green. Do they even know who this guy is?

[razzzorsharp]

The thing about Green is you would think he would be getting some starts later in the year if they are lucky enough to maintain their lead. Maybe with those starts he could impress enough to garner some playoff attention. He could also fail miserably.

 

Either way, good to have another option.

[SoCalBrewfan]

Wait 'til the St. Louis series; maybe they'll have Tyler Greene up from AAA to counter our Taylor Green.

[DougJones43]

Great to see this move was made, even though it should have been made earlier.

 

Now, all the pieces are in place to plug strengthen what has been the weakest area of the team -- the left side of the infield (both offensively and defensively). McGehee/Green should be in a soft platoon, and Hairston should get a significant amount of starts at SS when Weeks comes back. That's what SHOULD happen. Time will tell if this WILL happen.

[recte44]

Nice move. Surprised it took this long. With the 40 man roster full I assume there's a corresponding move (likely Kintzler to the 60-day DL).

[MNBrew]

Didn't really have anything else to prove in AAA. Good to see he'll be on the playoff roster.

Hardly a given yet, but at least he's eligible. Weeks & Gomez would seem to be priorities for roster spots if healthy over Green.

 

Wilson's eligible, too, but I could see him getting squeezed out by the return of those healthy starters (okay, 1 starter & 1 kinda-platoon starter).
