Ronny Mauricio is a fantasy baseball 2B/SS prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Ronny Mauricio, 2B/SS, New York Mets
ANALYSIS: When a top prospect that is nearly Major League ready begins playing another position in the upper minors, that is a clear signal that the parent club is trying to figure out how they can get that player into their lineup.
That's exactly what's happening right now with Ronny Mauricio. Over his last 27 games, Mauricio has only started three games at shortstop while starting 21 times at second base and three times at designated hitter. This makes a lot of sense too given Lindor's presence and the fact that they could slot Mauricio more easily at the keystone and move Jeff McNeil to left field.
VERDICT: Mauricio has been on fire of late, slashing .400/.438/.644 over the last 10 days, and is hitting .353 for the season in 45 games with seven home runs, nine steals, and a whopping 21 doubles. That power/speed blend would look awfully nice from the second base position.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility.

Andrew Painter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
Colby Thomas - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: The A's continue to lose, and Colby Thomas continues to hit homers in Triple-A.
