The Giants called him up from Short-Season ball???:confused:

In 93 AB's between Rookie and Short Season ball, Gillaspie hit .269/.352/.344 (.696 OPS).

This makes no sense to me.:confused:

EDIT: I was looking at the numbers again and Gillaspie actually played at Class-A Short Season, not Low-A ball.

I'm guessing the deal he signed demanded a call-up, or it was at least a verbal agreement.
