If Hall comes up, I would think it would be better for him to work in an Akin type role.  Come in for 2 or 3 innings after the starter has faltered or just to give the bullpen a break.  I was against bringing him up until September, but now I don't see the harm.  He's not going to cost the O's a playoff spot.  Maybe the ML instruction could help him when minor league instruction does not seem to be helping. 

Nailed it. Agree completely.

From an Eric Longenhagen chat yesterday:

Wiz: Think DL Hall is ready to come up and compete against big league lineups? Stuff has been looking filthy. Zimmermann just got.optioned and Hall lines up with his turn in the rotation.

Eric A Longenhagen: Hell yes, his stuff is vicious.
