Call-ups give Gibbons some room to maneuver

The Blue Jay clubhouse suddenly became a lot more crowded Friday afternoon.

September call-ups came flooding into the visitors clubhouse at Tropicana Field faster than the storm surge from Hurricane Mermine.

The team added seven players with several more likely to come over the next few days.

Relief pitchers Danny Barnes, Ryan Tepera and Matt Dermody joined position players Dalton Pompey, Darrell Ceciliani, Devon Travis and Josh Thole.

The Travis and Thole moves were strictly procedural as the team moved bodies around over the past couple of days to maximize the number of players available.
