Yeah, I was hoping to see Ax up here, but I can't see who they would bump off the 40-man for a 38 year old to take the spot. Especially when they've already shored up the bullpen pretty good in the time between them signing Axford and him being ready for a call up. In that time they've added:
Cimber
Richards
Soria
Hand
..and they also added Berrios which will eventually push a starter into the pen.
If it was me though, I would have punted Dolis and brought Axford up to take his spot, but what do I know? haha
