James Tibbs III Still a Top Stash Among Fantasy Baseball Prospects
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Tibbs III continues to put together a phenomenal season. His video game numbers would be worthy of a call-up in the other 29 organizations, but the Dodgers' depth in the majors has allowed them to be patient with his development and leave him in Triple-A for now. Sooner rather than later, though, he'll force their hand and become an immediate contributor in the majors. At Triple-A this year, he's slashing .310/.420/.612 with a whopping 18 home runs, a 15.4% walk rate, and a 26.3% strikeout rate. Although he's chasing a little more than we'd like (21.91% chase rate), we can't ignore the fact that he has either walked or homered in 21.5% of his plate appearances. Tibbs projects as a mid-summer call-up, and there will inevitably be a mad scramble to pick him up off waivers when that happens. Wise fantasy managers should get ahead of the rush and stash him now, before it's too late. We've already seen a small surge in the hype for Tibbs, as his fantasy roster share has reached 3%.
