Brad Hawpe is expected to be called up from Triple-A Salt Lake for Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox. It's well deserved, as Hawpe is hitting .305/.405/.504 with six home runs, 28 RBI and a .909 OPS in 37 games this season in Triple-A.

If he wants to continue his career in Triple-A, he'll be given that opportunity.
