September Call-up... Wilton Lopez?

It's a long shot, but Wilton Lopez, who is on the 40-man roster is making a late push. After four poor months, the Corpus Christi starter has the following line in four August starts: 29 2/3 IP, 14 hits, three runs, two earned, four walks, and 18 Ks.

Any other scouting report you can give us on this guy, beyond his numbers? He seems to have good control and average K rate. At 26, does he project be a future reliever?

From the 2008 Baseball Prospectus Prospect Guide

“A former Yankee prospect who the Padres signed out of Nicaragua, righty Wilton Lopez is a sinker specialist who pounds the strike zone. " I know the Padres released him this spring.
