Weird time to call someone up since there's only one game left until the break.

It was probably to catch a plane. He's in the AAA all-star game, after all.

How many AAA all-star appearances until he catches up to Mike Hessman?

If Uggla was DFA I think that would have been announced first.

Probably traded Dan for David Price.

Trying to think who could be the roster move. Uggla keeps popping into my mind. Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but he could very well be DFA. Who knows?

This whole thing is odd timing, first of all, I don't think it's Uggla, because Gosselin's 40-man spot was created by Beato's outright and if it were Uggla, he could simply take his spot. My guess is there must be an injury we don't know about, Pena perhaps, but Pena didn't play today, so that would have happened yesterday. Just curious, and besides, if they were to make a move with Uggla, it wouldn't happen Sunday, it would happen after the All-Star break.

Wood could be sent down to get some more work in during the break.

It's got to be Uggla. He's had 18 at bats in the last six weeks.

Not if they're trying to manage his innings.

Well, you make good points, but what else makes sense? Carry four second basemen?
It's got to be Uggla.

Should edit thread title to "Wren capitulates, promotes Gosselin to satisfy Chop Country bloodthirsty mob."

I'd be ok with eating his salary and dealing him for one-legged independent league outfielder Ned Price.

You're correct about the timing. It is odd. I could be wrong, but the only other move, at least on the big league roster that could warrant someone being sent down or DFA'ed to me would be Schafer. But, I don't think that would make a lot of sense. Just going through the possibilities in my mind, and also knowing that since La Stella has been up with Atlanta, Uggla has been very rarely used. It just gives me a gut feeling that Dan Uggla's career in Atlanta is over. Again, that is just a gut feeling and only that. I could be completely wrong (which does happen a lot, I admit). We'll find out later this morning.

There is a little bit of chatter on Twitter, I mean a little. However, it's far from being trustworthy, so I'm not going to say much more.

It's an internet forum. Gossip is the name of the game.

BTW, CHucky T helped Braves land Tim Hudson back in the day. He was Moneyball's bust, not ours.
