The baseball gods are striking players down left and right to force the Cleveland Indians to call up Francisco Mejia. First Bradley Zimmer, then Lonnie Chisenhall’s weak calves, and another tonight. How many more good players have to go down before they do the right thing and bring up their top prospect?
Tonight’s victim was Brandon Guyer, who drilled a foul ball directly off his kneecap in his final at-bat of the game. Does it mean that Francisco Mejia will finally get his call back to the majors, or will the Indians have re-sign Melky Cabrera and have him fall down a flight of stairs in a freak accident for Mejia to finally get his shot?
