The service time argument is one thing, but there are plenty of other reasons this is dumb.
Why give up on him starting and stick him in the bullpen for a team that isn't contending? Why call up a guy having the struggles Fried has been dealing with this year?
What?
The timing is curious, but it has seemed obvious for some time that Fried's future was in the pen. I think this move reflects the fact the team would rather have 3 lefties in the pen. It is more a Fried taking Krol's spot kind of move.
An interesting side issue was the decision to bypass Minter. But Minty Hippo has not been the same pitcher this year and he is not on the 40-man.

He is already on the 40 man, and older. If he indeed had blister problems that was causing his struggles...this isn't exactly mind blowing. Many people thought he would be fast tracked.
Will he be a 6th starter or in the BP would be my question.

I don't think its been obvious at all that Fried's future was in the pen, he was great starting down the stretch last year, so he struggles in the first half of this season and his future is a reliever? I don't buy that.
I'm hoping they want to get him some innings ML experience (for reasons I don't understand) and he's starting again next year.
This FO constantly makes puzzling moves with callups and promotions.
I still don't understand why you do this when he's been struggling.
This seems like another move is coming. Maybe someone worked out a trade for Dickey? I assume he has cleared waivers by now??
