Colt Emerson Making a Push for Big-League Debut, Remains a Top Hitter to Stash
Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson stayed hot on Wednesday, clubbing his seventh home run of the season and collecting four RBI in a 2-for-5 day at the plate. The Mariners' top-ranked prospect is slashing .300/.333/.520 in 11 games in May, and owns a .257/.342/.478 slash line for the season with seven home runs and nine steals through 35 games at Triple-A Tacoma. The former first-rounder has the makings of a potential five-category producer for fantasy, and despite being just 20 years old, appears likely to be the next highly-rated MLB prospect (MLB No. 6 overall) to make his major league debut this season. With no current holes on the major league roster, a promotion is not imminent, but it could happen before the end of the month or shortly thereafter, so fantasy managers looking for a fantasy-friendly infield bat should consider Emerson as one of the top hitters to stash ahead of his eventual call-up.
