Two players I really like were promoted to AAA this past week in Chris Shaw, in the Giants Organization, and also Gleyber Torres of the Yankees. Chris Shaw has prolific power and the giants are moving him to the OF. This could accelerate his ETA. Torres is a beast of a player, and with the Yankees winning, could get his ETA pushed up some. Time to stash yet? Not quite, but monitor the article week by week.
Prospects are important to fantasy in all formats. I have provided a number of names to follow and stash and so far, four players have gotten the call, Winker, Happ, Bellinger, and Zimmer. Winker was sent back down after two appearances but the rest of the players have combined for a .276 AVG with 12 HRs, 34 R, 35 RBIs and 3 SB, which is great for 55 combined games. Bellinger even has been the third best first baseman in standard leagues in the past 30 days. What I am saying, prospects are awesome and can really help your team. Keep track.
Anyways, let us begin. 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.
1. Rhys Hoskins , Philadelphia AAA, ETA: June
Hoskins has played 48 games and has 107 TB. He is just being a monster. That is a 162 game pace of 361 bases. Now I do not expect him to keep that pace in the Majors, but the bat is legit. I do prefer Bellinger to Hoskins, but the bat looks to be special.
