From Atkins in a piece I will post sometime this week:
On Scott Lewis: “Really a tough year for him in some ways. He was injured in his last spring training outing and we were expecting a lot out of Scott this year. So he missed over half the season and is back into the fold now and is pretty much dominating Double-A and is letting us know he belongs at another level. So we will sort through when is the best time for him to start to transition to more greater challenges, but at this point what we are focused on with Scott is helping get to a threshold where he is starting depth for us next year which means he needs another 40 innings.”
Read between the lines. Tell me how he is not being strongly considered for the callup to take Byrd's spot in the rotation.

Tony,
That is a real interesting call. I really expected them to keep Lewis in Akron until after the playoffs and then give him a look but he actually does seem to be the best prepared of the three candidates at this time. He is pitching so well that it might be worth an option to find out if he is worthy of consideration for next year.
After thinking about it more, you are right, he may have been implying that they give him that Sept callup and he instead finishes in Akron. I don't think he'll leave Akron until the season is over, but it would not surprise me.
