If Urias is Injured, Do We Call Up Toro, Wiemer, Frelick, or Perkins?

I'd guess it'd be Toro until the 2 weeks are up. I also believe that is the right call to me. Brosseau looked good last year and had a great spring, let him start for a couple weeks at 3b

I think the Brewers will call up Toro but I'd prefer they call up Wiemer.

Toro and Perkins are on the 40-man roster, so those two wouldn't force the club to cut someone (Wilson is only on the 15-man IL though. So depending on his timetable moving him to the 60-man could solve it smoothly), which probably puts them in the lead. I also think that while the team is OK with the limited numbers of pure outfielders as is, I don't think it's something they particularly *want*, so getting an OF probably makes sense from that perspective. 

Also depends on how they plan to fill 3B. If their plan is to make Anderson the primary 3B for now, then I'd expect it to be Wiemer/Frelick coming up, as it'd mean they would need the player coming up to play quite a lot of RF. If they're going with Brosseau mostly at 3B and Anderson staying in RF, then positionally Toro makes sense as he can cover 2B/3B. Or it could be Perkins just to get a good defensive OF out there. Either way, it's less likely to be Frelick/Wiemer in that scenario IMO.

If it isn't Wiemer/Frelick then the Brewers made it abundantly clear that Wiemer and Frelick were never actually competing for an opening day spot and that was just lip service so they didn't get as much negative reaction towards service time manipulation. 

I'd much rather call up Wiemer/Frelick to play RF and move Anderson to the infield than call up Toro and slide Brosseau to 3B.

Topic of who do they call up is one question and the actual poll of should is another question.

Not necessarily. If they view Urias's injury as a short-term thing, it's doesn't really make a ton of sense to call up one of the blue-chippers. Better off just calling up a guy already on the 40-man who can be optioned, like Toro or Perkins, if we are only talking two weeks. If we are talking a month or more, though, then inserting a power RH bat like Wiemer's to take the place of Urias's RH power makes a lot of sense.

I want to be excited, I am very excited to see him play, just hoping they don't burn a full year of control for the 12 games now
