There's talk that the Bucs will call up someone from Nashville for a spot-start in the weekend doubleheader against the Cubs. This strikes me as a great chance to get a look at someone in a low-stress situation. Provided that his schedule can be massaged so that he is starting on regular rest, and hasn't had to fly across the country and land two hours before the first pitch, any of those guys should relish the chance to come up and make an impression. If he does real well, then perhaps you think about keeping him around and making a change with the roster. When grafting players onto the roster, nothing makes them stick better than success. If the spot-starter flops, it's no big deal when he's returned since he was called up with the news that this was a one-time gig.
