I don't know if this guy is going to exactly put us in the playoffs this year, but it sounds like a step in the right track.

is someone injured, is that why he's coming up?

Well at first I thought they were bringing him up due to Modin still nursing the groin injury (all year! LOL) But Freddy says he's planning on playing Friday. So maybe just trying to infuse some energy into a stale offense. Usually when those young kids come up they're running on adrenaline the first couple of games so it gets some of the other guys moving their feet (mainly to keep up!)
