September call-ups

Today is September 1st, which means September call-ups for both baseball teams in town. Here are my predictions of what players will be called up.

The Chicago Cubs
The Cubs triple-A affiliate The Iowa Cubs are in a playoff race. Thus, only a few players may be called up today. The rest may be brought up when they are done. I think three players will be brought up today being a infielder, outfielder, and a pitcher. Then in a few weeks when the Iowa Cubs are done we will see three to four more players come up. Today I think we will see:
1. Micah Hoffpauir-He was slumping at the big league level so was sent down last month after being on the team the whole season.
2. Andres Blanco-He can’t hit, but is one the best defensive infielders I have ever seen. He will upgrade the defense
3. Justin Berg-He had a brief stint this year on the big league roster and only pitched briefly, but looked good.

Then later once the Iowa Cubs are done they may bring up:
•Jeff Stevens
•Mitch Atkins
•Jeff Samardzija
•Bobby Scales

When ready to come back from injury:
•Reed Johnson
•David Patton

The Chicago White Sox
•Cole Armstrong
•Josh Fields
•Dayan Viciedo
•Jhonny Nunez
•Carlos Torres
•Wes Whisler

When ready to come back from injury:
•Dewayne Wise
•Chris Getz
