Over the next week, I expect several top prospects to get the call to the majors, so now is the time to stash them before it's too late. If they don't get called up in the next few days, the next wave should come around in early September when rosters expand. Here are the top […]

It's been a really exciting last two weeks for prospect promotions, starting with Max Clark debuting on the last day of July. Since then, we've also seen George Lombard Jr., Kaelen Culpepper, Angel Genao, and Hagen Smith debut, among others. I don't believe this wave is done, either, as the threshold for teams to call […]
