[Oh Yes!]

this Kipnis kid any good?

VERY good - rates to be their 2B for years to come (and can play other positions although they don't need him at 3B with Chisenhall)

Dustin Pedroia good or Daniel Murphy good?

 

[brewer]

Yonder Alonso is up for the Reds. If he can prove that his glove is good enough to play consistently in left field, he could be a nice pick up.

The Chicago White Sox will start Alejandro De Aza in center field on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers and bench Alex Rios. De Aza, 27, was hitting .322 in Charlotte and was leading the International League with 124 hits and 190 total bases.

Dustin Pedroia good or Daniel Murphy good?

Not the energy and steals of Pedroia, but more power less average than Murphy

Sneaking in a ACF post in here. Weeks is out for awhile now and I need a 2B. Beckham, Altuve or Kipnis?

3b is a black hole but Chris Davis is eligibile and may get a long look in a good park, might want to move on him.

I am debating dropping Lawrie for Davis after Toronto's coach said Lawrie won't be called up soon. I still remember the absolute tear Davis went on at the end of his rookie year. If the O's give him full time at bats, he could be a great source of power (and low avg, but you take the good with the bad at this point).

Good news also that Orlando Cabrera was shipped off the SF. I don't see Jason Donald taking away as many starts as Cabrera.

Why? Are they trying to stop his clock til next year?

Worth carrying 2 catchers for a while or is it wishful thinking that he becomes an everyday (you know what I mean) fantasy starter this season?

Jesus Montero, C NYY

News: The Newark Star-Ledger reports that Yankees prospect Jesus Montero is expected to be called up to the major leagues "in the very near future," citing sources close to the organization. Montero is hitting .283 with 10 home runs and 48 RBI for Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre.

Analysis: Montero has been the Yankees' top hitting prospect for the past few seasons, but he has stalled some in his development. While his numbers have still been solid, there has been some belief that Montero has grown bored of Triple-A ball and has been frustrated by the fact that he has been blocked getting to the major league level. Montero was held out of two games in June because the organization felt his play lacked "energy." If he does get the call, expect a re-energized Montero to try to make an immediate impact. He could see at-bats as a DH while possibly beating out Francisco Cervelli as the No. 2 backstop behind Russell Martin. Montero's value in Fantasy may be limited in 2011, but the future remains bright for this high-end keeper prospect. Continue to monitor his progress.

I'd drop Moose tacos down. Not seeing it.I'd go Jennings - He's a 5X5 MVP in the making. Hosmer - He's a 1B with maybe 25 HR power. He's going to have to hit like A Gone has this year to really make an impact outside of utility. Ackley - So far, so good, but you have to question what kind of production he can really get in that lineup. Brown - Still think the kid has a chance to be good.Moose - Just when you think hitting under .200 is bad, put a RISP for him and watch him be even worse (.122/.211/.184)Amazing lack of clutch in this kid. Trout - obviously not ready.

“We’d like to break him in on the road,” Anthopoulos, the Jays GM, said the other day. “Look at the zoo that Colby had to go through the first day.”There was 16K in attendance that night. Beat writers follow the team everywhere regardless. This is what qualifies as a zoo?

I'm sure there is a lot less media on the road and his first home game he'll have to have a press conference (as Rasmus did).

“He’s close,” Toronto Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said when asked how soon Lawrie would earn a call-up to the big leagues.

 

[Northern Voice]

Lawrie's up.

 

[rascal]

People not worried about the PCL inflating his stats?

Lawrie is Canadian so there's that
