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: August
Last Week I predicted he would come up and take James Shields spot in the rotation, James made his regular start pitching 4 Innings giving up 5 runs, 3 earned while Lopez went 5 strong innings in AAA with 10 strikeouts. Lopez is creating the buzz and should be in Chicago very soon. Over his last six starts for Charlotte, he has a 1.96 ERA through 36.2 IP with 49 strikeouts and only 8 walks. Keep in mind he pitches at one of the most hitter friendly parks in the minors. He has been exceptional. Stash him.
