Yes. Also, fresh arm or not, Ascanio not Atkins should have been called up. Atkins has been god awful. If they wanted a fresh arm, it should have been Ascanio up and Shark down.

Last I looked at Ascanio's stats, he had been struggling at AAA.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ascanio: 3.16 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 47 K, 18 BB

Atkins: 6.92 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, 92 K, 37 BB

Seems real strange to me.

Ascanio threw 5 innings Monday night for Iowa.
