Been sitting on him for 2 1/2 years now, glad he's getting a shot before Crawford is due back. Lets just hope Boston's ####ty management doesn't give him the Middlebrooks treatment.'Eephus said:Post-hype sleeper Ryan Kalish called up to Boston after a year lost to injury
Out of all 3 guys I mentioned Id say he's called up last. Cain actually started rehab games, so there is a logjam in the OF until they can trade Francouer. I just picked him up cuz I had a free spot and can drop him if he isnt called up in the next few weeks. IMO Hultzen will be up first. They have a bunch of crappy pitchers in their rotation and hes dominating. I have a feeling they're playing it safe for Super 2 status on him but I wouldnt be shocked if hes up in the next 2 weeks. Bauer would be up but they dont have a single opening in their rotation for him unless they can trade Saunders or someone gets hurt UGHIs Myers on the horizon?

Cain is a couple of weeks away barring another setback. I'd be concerned that the groin/hip injuries might affect his SB potential in the short term.12 team keeperChasing steals, Kalish or Cain?and he was on a TEAR at AAAPost-hype sleeper Ryan Kalish called up to Boston after a year lost to injury
Plus Kalish draws more walks and hits for more power. If Cain doesn't hit close to .300 he may get stuck in the bottom of the order, especially if he isn't running because of the hip. If Kalish hits how I think he will (.275/.330/.425) he'll be hitting 6th by the All Star break. Good spot in that lineup.Cain is a couple of weeks away barring another setback.

Had a shaky first inning, but then settled down and did not give up a hit after that. Really hard to say if it was him or the Nats bats though, because the Nats have not been hitting well lately.But I think Hellickson is only expected to miss one more start, and then Archer is probably getting sent back down.Archer seemed to pitch decent last night. Anyone watch it?
When I read that I got tight in the pants.whats wrong with you guys? bauer is getting called up to start thursday!
I remained limp as I don't own him.
***fixed

I am starting him - it is the ATL and not someplace terrible - and the adrenalin may really have him jacked up..............besides you don't want to miss a double digit strikeout performance on TVIs it pretty safe to start Bauer right away or does history suggest waiting a few starts to let the nerves out?
not much of a leap there and that is next month - meanwhile the Royals have to either make a spot for him or just rotate him in and out of the lineup once he arrives.............if they could pull off the rumored Francoeur trade to the Dodgers it would solve the problemBut yes he will be up - not sure about July but sometime this summerBen Reiter @SI_BenReiter Source: Royals plan to call up Wil Myers - now baseball's best hitting prospect - "sometime in July, if all goes right."
Many top pitchers (Clemens, Randy Johnson to name two) get off to so-so starts. Bauer might be mediocre the rest of this season.Is it pretty safe to start Bauer right away or does history suggest waiting a few starts to let the nerves out?

Bauer's command is his big question mark. He's been giving up 4.6 BB/9 in his brief minor league career and walked 3 in 4 IP last night. But he's nowhere near as wild as a young Randy Johnson was at a similar stage of development.I will bet against thatMany top pitchers (Clemens, Randy Johnson to name two) get off to so-so starts.

First they are easing Cain back into the lineup and seeing if he is ready to play every dayNext they have to either trade Frenchy or decide to have him on the benchAnd fantasy players may want him up tomorrow but there really is no rush from the Royals point of viewWhat are we waiting for with Myers? I figured he'd be up after the break.
Well, I would dare say the kid helped put 40,000 in the ballpark for the futures game, so there is that for the royals. Maybe they want him to debut on the road?First they are easing Cain back into the lineup and seeing if he is ready to play every dayNext they have to either trade Frenchy or decide to have him on the benchAnd fantasy players may want him up tomorrow but there really is no rush from the Royals point of viewWhat are we waiting for with Myers?

Most teams want their prospects to accumulate 1000+ PA's north of A Ball and Myers isn't to 800 yet. It's far from a hard line rule, just an unsaid one by most organizations. I suspect we'll see him up sometime this year. Even if Frenchy doesn't get dealt by the trade deadline I'll bet the Royals see what they can get for him during the waiver trade period in August. They don't want to bring him up unless he gets full time AB's, so I'm keeping him stashed in my weekly leagues as long as I can.Well, I would dare say the kid helped put 40,000 in the ballpark for the futures game, so there is that for the royals.

id prefer to stash daniel strailyS. Marte is up. I missed out on him because ESPN decided not to put Arencibia on the DL until this afternoon......so.....Any rumblings from around the league? Is now the time to grab someone like Hultzen?

Another young Oakland arm. He's come out of nowhere to post sensational numbers this year, especially by Texas and Pacific Coast League standards.who?id prefer to stash daniel strailyS. Marte is up.

The problem is that the Oaklands have so many arms. Straily may not see much action this year unless Beane trades a pitcher for a bat.Ok...doesn't seem to be in ESPNs system yet (or Yahoo).

If it's as much as Olt, not much.Profar up...much do you think he plays?
It won't see much PT.If it's as much as Olt, not much.Profar up...much do you think he plays?
True ... BUT if you have a zero MI slot available he might be worth adding cheaply because as the Rangers increase their lead (or pesky Oakland stops winning) Wash will rest Andrus and Kinsler and there will be DH days available and he might get you more than a terrible player in that spotIt won't see much PT.If it's as much as Olt, not much.Profar up...much do you think he plays?
Seems like any time someone brings up a new guy in here he loves the guy. Most of these guys won't pan out and almost all of them start off slow. Going prospect heavy usually doesn't lead to titles. Getting guys like Carlos Gomez once they've figured it out and everyone else has forgotten about him has a much better success rate imho.plenty of guys he doesn't likeIs there a prospect Captain Hook is not in love with?
