Joshua Baez Looking Like a Waiver-Wire Option
St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez has the Triple-A numbers to justify a call-up, and when the Cardinals decide to make the call from Triple-A Memphis, he should reward fantasy managers. Savvy fantasy managers may recall Baez's four-homer game, but his overall numbers are outstanding all year at Memphis. He is hitting .265 with 26 homers, 65 RBI, 58 runs, and 13 stolen bases. The second-round pick has shown off his power stroke in Memphis, but a crowded outfield exists in St. Louis with the likes of Jordan Walker, Nathan Church, and Lars Nootbaar. Expect Baez to force the Cardinals' hand soon if he keeps hitting, and fantasy managers may want to beat the rush to add the talented outfielder. The power numbers could translate and thus reward managers who take an early chance on the big-time prospect.
