I likewise doubt they're thinking that he will contribute. If they were planning to use him this year I don't think they would have waited as long as they did to have him start practicing with the team. The call-up probably just reflects the desire to have enough bodies for practice and to look at him a little more closely before summer and free agency arrive. Maybe add to that an expectation that Azubuike will actually be excited to be with the team.
