Is Phil Humber actually on this team?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Has anyone seen him recently?

[metirish]

Now that you mention it I have not seen him or heard anyone talking about him in the booth.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Wasn't he getting some work in last night in the bullpen? He was wearing #49, IIRC.

[Valadius]

Could we, um, see him in a game already?

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's not unheard of to call up a top prospect just to let him absorb the big league atmosphere.

Darryl Strawberry was with the team in September 1982 without getting into any games. He may not have been even on the roster. But he was in the dugout wearing 18.

Willie said when he got called up that he didn't expect him to get a start...the call up was a kinda reward for all the hard work coming back form injury.

[Valadius]

I'd get him in a game even for one out, so he could say that he actually DID something.

[Guest Edgy DC]

They may not want to start his options clock.

[Gwreck]

Isn't that clock already ticking with his ML Contract and that he was on the 40-man ever since he signed?

[Guest Edgy DC]

G' point.
