Part of me didn't expect Thompson to get called up for the game Saturday, but after Dusty's quote about not being able to tell us who is starting Saturday it made it a little obvious.
A few reasons why I didn't expect it:
* It's a road game
* It's in Yankee Stadium
* He has only pitched 14 games above the single A level
* Josh Fogg is still in the organization on a rehab stint somewhere
Now thinking about those reasons I pretty much have to toss out the 1st two of the four, just because lets be honest big league debuts have to scare you to death no matter what so the pressure is going to be sky high anyways.
