Leonys Martin and Mark Hamburger are already on their way up. No fantasy value as both will be role players. Martin for late defense or pinch running. Hamburger will be a long relief arm or maybe a spot start. If you can stash Martin on a Keeper roster, that would be a good move. He starts in CF next year I think.
I mentioned Esteban German (IF), Engel Beltre (OF), Tanner Scheppers (RP), Eric Hurley (P) and Darren O'Day (RP) in the Ranger thread, but don't see any fantasy value in any of them.
Texas is going to finish this dance with those that brought them.
Nats are likely to call up P Tom Milone, P Brad Peacock, and 2B Steve Lombardozzi (and someone named Strasburg). Milone looks likely to start on Saturday and take Jordan Zimmermann's spot in the rotation. He's been pretty solid in AAA. Peacock is the higher-rated prospect, but he's not as far along as Milone (Peacock just moved up to AAA in the past two months). The org is pretty high on Lombardozzi too, but I'm not sure how much time he will be able to steal from Espinosa and Desmond, who the Nats still view as the middle infield of the present and future.
The Giants' cupboard has been pretty much cleared out by their injury problems this season. Brandon Crawford will be back up and can hardly be worse than Cabrera and Tejada. Eric Surkamp looked good in his debut but doesn't have great stuff. I'm hoping for the best though.
Darren Ford and Emmanuel Burriss have been up before. Conor Gillaspie is nothing special. I don't think Francisco Peguero is ready. Given that they're still hanging to a thread of a pennant race and the Giants have never shown a big commitment to youth, I doubt there will be any contribution beyond a few starts from Surkamp.
