Kaelen Culpepper Slumping, but Remains a Stash Consideration
Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper fell into a 0-for-14 slump at Triple-A St. Paul last week, lowering his season-long slash line to .234/.327/.372 for the Saints. Still, a 21.5 percent strikeout rate is not cause for concern, and a better-than-average 11.2 percent walk rate has allowed him to continue to get on base. The former first-rounder has belted three home runs and stolen five bases through 23 games thus far, showing off the well-rounded skillset that produced a .289/.375/.469 slash line with 20 home runs and 25 steals a season ago between High-A and Double-A. Expect the talented 23-year-old to get back on track soon and make a push for a big league debut. With solid contact skills, decent power, and good speed, the Twins' second-ranked prospect makes for an intriguing stash option in deep leagues, though he's currently only eligible at SS on the Yahoo! platform.
