BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues
OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: In a surprising turn of events that shocked fans and analysts alike, top prospect David Dahl has been called up to the big leagues by the Colorado Rockies. The only astounding aspect of the promotion is the timing— the Rockies are nowhere near playoff contention and should have no need for young talent at this point in the season. Usually, top prospects like Dahl get called up in September for a brief taste of the Majors. Apparently, the Rockies front office was comfortable enough to pull the trigger a bit prematurely on one of the league's most promising young stars. Dahl is a double threat with enough power and speed to break 30 HR and/or 30 SB in a season once he reaches his prime. In 92 games between Double- and Triple-A this season, the 22 year-old has gone .314/.394/.569 with 18 homers and 17 steals. Who knows what this guy will be able to do in 81 games at Coors Field? He went 1-for-4 in his first game against Baltimore the other day, registering his first MLB hit. Expect the hits, homers and steals to keep on coming. This guy will not be on the waiver wire for long.
