It's Official: Bruce & Kershaw are Here

The Dodgers called up Kershaw and he pitched on Sunday against the Cardinals. His line had him with 2 ER but that really isn't the case because James Loney lost a ball in the sun and that runner ended up scoring. You are not awarded a error if you lose the ball in the sun. I watched his start and his fastball was around 94-97 mph and his curveball is straight nasty. He faces the Mets on Friday and I predict he will have a good outing due to the Mets having so many lefties in the line-up and the fact that they blow. After Kershaw has a couple of more starts I will revist my new 20 year old man crush with a player profile. The Dodgers stated that he is up for only 3 starts but I have a hard time believing that Schimdt will take his spot.

Jay Bruce begins his tenure in Cin this evening against Pittsburgh and most likely he will be playing out of position in CF. I can't imagine them sitting down Dunn or Griffey for an extended period of time. It is just about certain that Bruce will get the needed 130 ABS to enter the draft next season. This is going to make for an intreasting decision for Allied Powers.

Other notable call-ups:
Nick Evans Mets
Ian Stewart Col
Seth Smith Col
