Last week my #2 ranked Pitcher, Dinelson Lamet, was called up to the Majors. Lamet was not even in the ESPN or Yahoo player pools before his game, so you could not even stash him. He performed quite well with eight strikeouts in five innings pitched. He is a guy worthy of an add, but I wouldn’t waste a high waiver claim on him. I can see him in the 50-70 range rest of season but has potential to move into the 40s. Anyway, let us get down to business.
Every weekend, I will be posting about the minor leaguers you should be stashing on your team. This list will be arranged by impact for this year only. Players that will be called up sooner will be ahead of players with more talent who might only be called up late in the year. Prospects are a great way to stay ahead of everyone else rather you are in a dynasty league or a 10-team league. With the minor league season going, we can start seeing some movement with this list. With more and more games to evaluate, new players will jump onto the list, while others could fall off entirely.
Note: Julio Urias and Blake Snell are no longer prospect but are worth stashing on your team.
1. Jose De Leon, Tampa Bay Rays AAA, ETA: June
De Leon had some difficulties in his last outing allowing four earned in four innings while striking out four. He is still working his way back from his injury, but we want to start seeing more innings pitched in his stats. The potential is there to make an impact like Mike Clevinger and Jose Berrios, but he is competing with Jacob Faria, and Blake Snell now for the Rotation spot.
