Dave Dombrowski said IL HR champ Bryce Brentz willl not get callup from Pawtucket. Brentz hit 31 HR but no 40-man roster spot available.
I'm with you, Bell. Brentz should be up here. Saying that there's no room on the 40 man roster is laughable. This organization clearly doesn't see anything in him. I just don't get it.

And to the original post, he went 3 for his last 26 in PAW, so I'm not sure how that shows that he's gotten back to hitting.
No, he can't. Just look at his numbers this year. Swihart is done. His bat is good enough to be a bat first C, but not to be a 3B. He's also had extensive ankle issues this year so I highly doubt he runs very well anymore.
However, if a club wants to add a player who was not on the 40-man roster but was in the organization, it can petition the Commissioner's Office if that player is replacing someone who has been on the 60-day DL for at least 60 days.
