&lt;p&gt;In his half-inning TV appearance on Saturday's broadcast of the game against the Tigers, Mark Shapiro was asked who might be called up to the Tribe in September. &amp;nbsp;If I recall correctly, he said there would be a few, mostly pitchers, and said the callups might include a surprise. &amp;nbsp;Contemplating who the surprise, if there is one, might be, I looked at the Buffalo roster and came up with a candidate. &amp;nbsp;Obviously, Guthrie and Slocum have been up before, and, among position players Gutierrez has been up before so they shouldn't be considered a surprise. &amp;nbsp;And the way Kouzmanoff has been hitting, no one should be surprised if he is called up. &amp;nbsp;The Bisons do have a pitcher who has the 2nd lowest ERA in the league among pitchers who have pitched as many as 102 innings. &amp;nbsp;Although he has started 11 games, he has 22 relief appearances. &amp;nbsp;Since the team's biggest need in the offseason is to find additional help in the bullpen, he might warrant a look during the last month of 2006. &amp;nbsp;The name? &amp;nbsp;Hyang-Nam Choi. &amp;nbsp;Immaturity shouldn't be a problem either; he's 35 years old.&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, that's my guess. &amp;nbsp;Of course, there could be no surprise, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
