Joel Guzman

The Dodgers called-up AA OF Matt Kemp to bring its number of healthy major league OFers to four.

The issue is why, following seven disabled Dodgers, didn't Joel Guzman get the call?

After all, he was amongst the final cuts this Spring.

He hasn't torn the cover off AAA pitching but he is batting .300 and his walk and strikeouts are very similar to Kemp's.

Why not recall the player more accomplished at higher levels?

Maybe the dodgers are trying to save arbitration service time. It's a pretty common practice amongst big time prospects. It sucks, but it's a common thing.

There is something not being reported.

Minor league news and coverage is light years from where it was 10 years ago, but that is only relative.
