This raises the question of why bring him up and have to make a roster move right after the AS break?<br /><br />Hmmm, could be we see a DFA (sLugo), HH, then optioned and Jedi added to the roster on Saturday.<br /><br />HH's start, an atta boy and let us see how far you really have progressed.s1chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012981832351433952noreply@blogger.com
