Opposite field shot. The guy is just awesome, he's just awesome in every way. I just want to watch him play baseball on television. Is that too much to ask?

I can't imagine he would be considered for a September call-up. Especially with Boras as his agent (meaning he's likely to actually test free agency), I can't envision him being called up until he wouldn't be FA-eligible until after the 2021 season, and that means sometime in May 2015 at the earliest.
I don't think they'd call him up in September with an eye towards having him start 2015 back in Iowa because: (A) all you do is delay when he could be called up from May to June; and (B) once he's been a major leaguer, it becomes very difficult to send him back to Iowa if he has a good spring, meaning he's a free agent after 2020 and all they got for it was a September call-up.
This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena.
