If you have a spot open, I would stash Blake Snell. He has been lights out for the Durham Bulls and with Erasmo Ramirez struggling; he could be called up shortly. Snell has a 2.66 ERA through 44 innings while striking out 61 and only allowing 15 walks. If anyone that is current in the minors should be stashed, it is Snell.
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.
1) Lucas Giolito, Chicago White Sox AAA, ETA: August
Every month this year, Lucas Giolito has seen an improvement in his ERA, WHIP, and BAA. It is an easy accomplishment when you start the year off with an ERA north of 6.00. He has made adjustments and is improving. He is using his legs more when he pitches and we are starting to see much better results. He has more strikeouts in his four starts in June than his six starts in May. He still is not looking like a future Ace though, but he is worth buying a lotto ticket on and stashing.
Chance Adams or Mike Montgomery. I have Mike now but does Adams have a bigger upside?
Thanks for including Nick’s take on Moore. It’s helpful to have more than one POV without having to page around the site.
What are you thoughts on Stephan Gonsalves?? I really think he could be an un-hyped impact prospect this season.
