Gamel and Reimold called up.

The Brewers and Orioles both called up one of their top prospects on Wednesday night.  Both have the ability to produce on the ML level right away, if given AB's.

It's not clear what the Brewers are going to do with Gamel.  They still have Bill Hall who is getting paid 15 mil., so I doubt they're going to bench him and give Gamel all his PT.  Still, Hall is ineffective against righties (.205 AVG, .658 OPS), so hopefully Gamel doesn't get the Brandon Wood treatment.

As for Reimold, he was batting .331 at AAA with 8 HR and 31 RBI.  The O's called him up after the injury to Adam Jones on Wednesday, and Luke Scott and Felix Pie already ailing.  Earlier this year, Dave Trembley said that Reimold would start if/when he was called up, so we'll see if he holds true to his word.  Obviously, though, a lot of his potential AB's will depend on how long Adam Jones is out of the lineup.  

I'd think about taking a gamble on either one if I were in a deep league and needed a power bat.
