Likelyhood of a Josue De Paula call up this season?
With De Paula ripping up the Texas league atm, i thought i'd pose the question, what does everybody think are the chances that he gets a September call up this year and with that an opportunity at making the post season roster.
There is precedent with Seager in 15' & Lux in 19' that a player with his prospect status and hit tool would've in the past been considered for a late run at starting in October.
I do appreciate that the level of payroll now would make it far more unlikely, and unlike Corey & Gavin, there probably isn't that ready made spot waiting for him to walk into. But just forecasting for the future, our bench for the playoffs would be pretty righty heavy as currently constructed. I don't think Alex Call is a 100% certainty of making that squad, especially if Kike is healthy as they do a lot of the same things.
Also, i know he hasn't hit aaa yet, but it's not that unusual for guys of his hype level to pretty much skip that altogether. Although, I can see him getting promoted to OKC after the break.
