David got back to his room and jumped onto the bed. Today was an exciting day, and it had taken its toll on him. He called his dad on the phone to tell him how he did, but his dad already knew. He was keeping tabs on his son by checking online. After he got off the phone, David passed out. He was exhausted.

*RIIINNGGG RIIIINGGG *

The phone startled him. He looked at the clock and noticed it was just 3AM. Practice wasn't for another 5 hours, who could be calling him now? He picked up the phone. " Hello?" he said tiredly, "David?" the person on the other end asked.
"Yea. Thats me"
"We need you to get on a plane right away. We are sending someone to get you and take you to the airport"
"What? Where am I going?"
"Janssen is out for about a week, and we have no one ready. Your up kid. I hope you have your passport"

As David hung up the phone, he didn't know what to think. They really didn't explain much, but he figured it out. Robert Janssen was one of the Blue Jays top prospects who had been called up earlier this season. With him out, the Jays had no one in AAA or AA ready to take his spot. Sure they had guys with more upside than David, but they had no one ready and didn't want to rush any of their top guys.

Was it true? Would he really be in the same rotation as AJ Burnett and Roy Halladay? Was he really going to be a Toronto Blue Jay?
