And finally, the most surprising call-up: 23-year old firstbaseman Cody Otis. Otis is not considered major league caliber by the scouting staff but the past two years has done nothing but tear up the minor leagues, mostly at the AAA level, with his bat. It was felt that he had earned the reward of at least a cup-of-coffee in the bigs. And it could also serve as an audition for a possible trade to another organization in the off-season.
