Is Jett Williams Still a Stash Candidate Amid Deep Slump at Triple-A?
Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams is in the midst of a really tough stretch at Triple-A Nashville, going 3-for-35 (.086) over his last nine games with zero extra-base hits. The Brewers' third-ranked prospect was hitting .256 on May 21, but has seen his average dip to .227 amid the slump. The former first-rounder still owns a strong 14.2 percent walk rate on the season that has kept a .348 on-base percentage afloat, and he's tallied 12 steals in 55 games, but this current skid will likely push out his major league debut a bit further. With the ability to play second base, third base, shortstop, and center field, the 22-year-old has multiple paths to the majors (eligible at 2B, SS, OF on Yahoo!), and he has the potential to be a multi-category contributor, but fantasy managers will likely have to wait until his bat heats up again in order to benefit from his skillset. The right-handed hitter's debut may come closer to the All-Star break, and for now, is off the "must-stash" radar.
