" Hey I'm Darryl Brock we are joined now by former Major League general manager and our baseball analyst Jim both. Jim good -- that's Tommy here again of course September call ups and huge Tommy here for some Major League teams but knowing the bad team to call up guys everybody gets to expand the rosters what's the difference between. Say it also ran in and some of fighting for division."

" Well a big difference if you're contending team you're looking for -- they can help you went back. That might be a left here relief pitcher might be a pinch runner. And he -- specialist or third catcher so you can make a double switched late in the game. If you're not contending team. This time we got to bring up your top prospects you want to give auditions. They help your club for 2010. So as a big difference not contending teams want to bring up prospects let him play get experience. Contending teams there is a good for pieces to win game. I'd say that said give us that your top prospects guys that we will see in September that you think cards did just the best okay let's go to the voting -- real quick. And we'll look at all these guys that will be called up when rosters are expanded and September please note Austin Jackson the center fielder of the New York Yankees. This is guided their defensive center fielder of the future you can run the ball down he's got a very strong arm he can steal bases that well he's got 22 stolen bases only caught four times. They'll have the Yankees not only defensively but as a pinch runner in September also wade Davis the right handed pitcher with the Tampa Bay Rays is -- Ten -- seven with a 32 ERA in a 151 innings in triple -- he can really help the rays in their rotation comes up to. They had Yankees Marlins rays and -- but the rest the teams they had got called up from seemed to be. Guide teams that will not be making the playoffs this year which maybe one player. -- big impact on the pennant race well that's two players that may or may not get called up when the rosters are expanded first one at -- and bomb Garner the left handed starter. With the temperatures go Giants he was the first round pick. Tenth overall two years ago this guy that's 64215. Throws 95 the 96. He was eleven in two with a one point 93 RH so far this year. You put him behind Cain and -- oh my goodness what a rotation down the stretch and the other sleepers twenty year old Jason Heyward the 64220. Pound right -- with a break people comparison. Somewhere between Dave Parker and Willie McCovey -- 315 with seventeen homers and 43 RBIs but frank Graham Bobby Cox had not the eye of the going to bring -- Seems like everybody's looking for a five tool player what these guys who could do it all but come this time a year that might be one team that that needs it varies -- different role filled situation -- call up. -- that team. Who's that guy what's his -- well -- going to Colorado Rockies who bring up Eric young and Eric Young is a guy can just flat out flies got 58 stolen bases so far. In triple like Rockets can use -- to pinch run late in the game in September you're tied 22 in the eighth inning he goes in to pinch run. Now all of a on the next hitter gets a fastball it's a huge weapon a small piece but it could be very important of the rock -- that would Dave Roberts back there with a Red Sox that's on base against the Yankees. Now coming up camera to be guys that we haven't heard of but also guys that we've seen before. Have a second chance guys would you like that -- guys I like their first of all Cameron may then he was the key to Miguel Cabrera Dontrelle Willis deal a couple of years ago. His first time up in the big leagues he only 202 but he home. But got 84 at bats he's made the adjustments in AAA he's got a 402 on base percentage down their 319 batting average and the kids been that made them. Right now is able to hit the inside fastball which he wasn't able to do his first -- The other guy is -- Campbell the third baseman -- Milwaukee who really struggled his first time up batting only 239. It is 113 at bats he should do better this time with confidence -- you always hear that term prospects like big named I was traded. For prospects and and hear their names but. There's obviously some value there because that's what they're they're -- big name guys who. And the prospect category are we get a first look at its September that's going to be a that it will know it for the future. We'll just go to the boat and board here real quick and first ball to be -- per that he was one of the key guys in the Jake Peavy trade but there's a guy that pitched 97 and two thirds innings. Punched out 97 when he walked 61 guy that's a major problem. Look he's got a 95 mile an hour fastball he's going to have to learn to throw his breaking ball. For striking hasn't been able to do that if he doesn't do that he's going to be a bust but hopefully he'll make the adjustments at the big league level. Brett Wallace was the key of the Matt Holliday trade Billy Beane -- in this trading really likes Walt -- had five home runs in one week in triple -- about ten days ago. There's a guy that should get a chance. They wanted to be at third base when he probably ends up at first base we're gonna get him in September. Also Carlos Carrasco was one of the key pitchers in the Cliff Lee trade he's won ten games in the minor leagues and -- are the GM of the Indians hoping he has a good debut in September for them. And finally Jeff Clement. The first baseman catcher with the Pirates who they got as the king a Jack Wilson trade. Clement batting 279 with 21 homers and 89 RBIs. -- we appreciate it and I ended. Could be a very existence veteran in September and don't forget foxsports.com. Has you covered throughout the Major League pennant races.
