Are there any call-ups worth grabbing?

Adam Eaton the OF (not the SP!) could play a lot for the DBacks.
Reed Johnson will get a lot of ABs for the Braves, maybe "George" Constanza for Braves, too, with the Uggla demotion.

Darin Ruf being called up today by the phillies. He had a very good season at AA (at 26 years old) this year, but I'm not sure how many ABs he will get or if the phillies will even trust him in LF at all. Probably not worth a look.
Here's Phuture Phillies' write up on him from their end of year wrap-up.
Darin Ruf, 26, Phils 20th round pick in 2009. .317/.408/.620 in 489 AB’s; 38 HR 104 RBI; 2/2SB; 12%bb/18% k ratio; .392 vs. LH, .284 vs. RH, .286 with RISP; .349 with 20 HR since August 1. 107 games at 1B with 4 errors (.995) 7.75 R/F; 28 games in the OF without an error; 3 OF assists; If Ruf picked a statline to shoot for in 2012, it was what you just read. He did it all and did it well. He is blocked at 1B, and I would expect him to see a considerable amount of time in LF in Lehigh Valley next year, with starts at 1B as well. It will be very tough to keep a bat like this out of the lineup. Is his defense as bad as the Phillies lead us to believe? I have seen him about a half a dozen times and he is slow. That being said, he is far more capable then others I have seen, in the OF even at the AAA level. When he gets to the ball, he does the right thing.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...
