D-Mac Near To Callup
Pearly Gates passes on this Times article indicating D-Mac is about to get called up for tonight's game. About friggin' time, but I'm betting he hits his first big slump before the All-Star break. The kid can rake, no doubt, but his K rate has increased each level. Still, Glaus had the same problem and he's wailin' 'em out of the park at the BoB.
Update: Will Carroll in his latest Under The Knife column at Baseball Prospectus has this to say about master McPherson:
The Angels are prepping for the return of Dallas McPherson. The slugger spent the better part of the spring dealing with a lower back injury that everyone believes is caused by his high torque swing [emphasis mine]. It's a known quantity now so it can be watched and treated, much as with Todd Helton or Mike Sweeney. I think Sweeney is an interesting comp; imagine McPherson as Sweeney with more power and less contact and you're on to something.Translated, no guarantees but that we see him spending time on the DL because of this.
