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) Reynaldo Lopez, Chicago White Sox AAA, ETA: July
The Chicago White Sox called up Yoan Moncada this week and Reynaldo Lopez could soon follow. He has been superb this month with a 1.80 ERA through four starts. He also has 28 strikeouts to only 5 walks, which is a vast improvement to his 28 strikeouts to 14 walks he had in April. He started yesterday and went six strong innings with only one walk, two hits allowed while striking out six. I am going to make the call and say he starts Wednesday for the White Sox taking James Shields spot who has an 8.10 ERA over his last six start. Stash Lopez today.
