Charlie Condon Seeing Stash Upside Plummet Amid Lengthy Power Drought
Colorado Rockies first base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has seen his stash upside continue to drop as his slump at Triple-A lingers. The former Georgia superstar was enjoying a hot start to his Triple-A campaign, but has since seen his production take a steep decline. Over his first 16 games of the campaign, the former third overall pick posted a .328/.455/.574 slash line with three doubles, four home runs, three stolen bases, and a 14:13 K:BB. However, since this surge, Condon has posted a much lower .152/.296/.182 line with only two extra-base hits, with both of them being doubles. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his production, but given his declining power and overall production remaining unstable, managers in shallower leagues should not view Condon as a high-end stash option. However, those in the 12+ team formats should continue to view him as a mid-end stash target in leagues that have multiple N/A spots, as he could still debut before the end of the first half.

Is Charlie Condon Still Worth Stashing Amid Power Outage?
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon has slowed considerably from his hot early-season start, seeing his batting average fall from .339 on April 17 down to where it currently stands at .234. Even while his bat was cooling, though, he was still drawing walks, with 13 of them in a 13-game span from April 19 to May 5. However, those have dried up, too, now with zero walks and 10 strikeouts (41.7 percent K%) in the five games since then. The former third-overall draft pick seemed to be making strides in that respect this season, but seeing such a large spike in strikeouts may push his MLB debut out a bit further, especially since there is also no sign of his main fantasy attribute, now having gone 22 consecutive games without a home run. Still, with power potential like his, managers in deeper leagues who are in dire need of home runs should consider stashing the 6-foot-5 slugger, as once he gets going again, a quick call to the majors could be in store, and Coors Field should give him an additional power boost.
