Is Jett Williams Nearing his MLB Debut?
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams is quickly climbing the stash rankings ahead of Week 5 of the fantasy baseball season. The Brewers acquired Williams this offseason in the deal that sent right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta to the New York Mets. While Williams was unable to crack the Opening Day roster, he could be in the mix for an early promotion, given Milwaukee's current production in the infield. Through his first nine games of the Triple-A season, Williams got off to a slow start, posting a low .440 OPS with five hits (all going for singles). However, since then (12 games), Williams has posted a much higher .730 OPS with three extra-base hits, including his first home run of the young season. In the majors, starting third baseman David Hamilton has held a .226 AVG while shortstop Joey Ortiz has posted an even lower .185 AVG. Williams may need to show further development, but there is not much competition standing in his way for a promotion. His speed upside (five SBs in 21 games) makes him a top target in deeper category leagues.
