Call-ups That Can Help in Fantasy Baseball

This is the time of year when star minor leagues get called up to the major leagues. If you hit the waiver wire and pick the right call-up, you may be able to strike gold. Here’s our list of the call-ups most likely to help you fantasy baseball:

David Price, Tampa Bay Rays
We all saw what he could do last year. He started this year in the minor leagues for monetary reasons. Now that he’s in the bigs, expect him to shine. If he’s available on the waiver wire, don’t hesitate.

Matt Wieters, Baltimore Orioles
Most baseball experts call Matt Wieters the best prospect in baseball. If you’ve seen him play, you can easily see the potential oozing out of this catcher phenom. With a hard hitting catcher always valuable in fantasy baseball, try to get this guy on your fantasy baseball team.

Jake Fox, Chicago Cubs
Jake Fox isn’t your average prospect. He’s already 26 and his defense is shaky. That said, check out these minor league stats from this year: 17 homers, 50 RBIs and 40 runs to go along with a batting average of .423 and an on-base percentage of .503. Get him off the waiver wire with the hope that Fox is a late bloomer would can continue bashing the ball.

Fernando Martinez, New York Mets
The Mets are dealing with a number of injuries right now. That has opened the door for Fernando Martinez, a 20-year-old prospect who has been fantastic in the minors this season. Pick him up if you want to roll the dice.
