The Jays Call Up Jarrett Hoffpauir, Rommie Lewis and Josh Roenicke

by Tom Dakers on Sep 4, 2010 9:21 PM EDT in Toronto Blue Jays News

The Jays made 3 call ups today: Jarrett Hoffpauir, Josh Roenicke and Rommie Lewis from Las Vegas. All three should be in New York for our game tomorrow afternoon. With the number of players injured at the moment an extra infielder is a good thing to have.

Early next week we'll likely be getting another pitcher or two. Someone has to make the start Wednesday, likely either Brad Mills or Scott Richmond. I'd think bringing both up wouldn't be a bad thing, but I'm not sure which one will be starting Wednesday. Unfortunately for Jeremy Accardo, I doubt he'll be called up, even though he was named PCL Reliever of the Year.

Hoffpauir had 28 at bats for Toronto earlier in the year hitting .214/.267/.517. In 107 games at Vegas he hit .295/.376/.494 with 16 HR and 73 RBI.

Roenicke pitched in 9 games for the Jays early in the season and had a 4.97 ERA. In Vegas he was 9-1, with a 3.64 in 36 games.

Lewis, a lefty, had a 4.91 ERA in 13 games for the Jays. In Vegas he had 8 starts and 15 relief appearances, 1-5, 5 saves and a 7.59 ERA.

As long as it's not Accardo...

yup, I think you about got it

I think the pen has 7 guys though. With Accardo being out of options, I think he’ll be given an opportunity again, unless they trade him this offseason. I can’t see AA trading him with his value so low right now.

Also, I really hope they don’t bring Tallet back. He’ll cost 2+ million. If there’s a non tender candidate, he’s it.
