jason heyward callup?

[MAC16]

yesterdays phillies braves game Nate Mclouth had to leave the game with a hamstring issue the same hamstring that kept him out of the line up for 4 games.. braves manager bobby cox said they are gonna see how it feels in a couple days and by the look of it to me i think hes headed to the shelf.. Does that open the door for heyward? or do they recall gregor blanco? they have to call up an outfielder because that would only leave them with church/diaz/anderson what do you guys think? if nate mclouth heads to the DL do they call up heyward to get his feet wet for 15 days or do they call up blanco who is hitting 220 in AAA? or do they call someone else up?

While not as good defensively, Ryan Church has seen time in CF, as well as Omar Infante I believe, so the Braves could just as easily call up a corner guy like Brian Barton or Brandon Jones. I'm not for starting the arb clock now on Heyward. If he come up and struggles (which I don't think will happen, but I don't want to risk it) thats less times the Braves get of their future star at the cheap club control years. You even argue that if he plays average, it's a waste of his arbitration time.
