Hey y’all! Happy Michael Chavis Day! I was planning on writing up Chavis for my post on Monday but with this news, I knew it could not wait. I’ve put together some guys tearing it up in AAA who might be on the verge of a call up. If these guys are still available in your dynasty league, go and get them now. The following guys could pick you up some steals later in the year or be an upgrade at the catcher position in the second half of the season. All right…let’s go!
Hey y’all! With this weekly post, I’m going to give you a couple of guys that have piqued my interest. I will give you two guys for deep fantasy league and two guys for shallow and/or re-draft leagues. Ready or not, here we go!
Chris Seise SS – (TEX) Seise missed all of 2018 has he recovered from shoulder surgery. However, the 29th overall pick in 2017 has been lighting up A ball of the Hickory Crawdads. As of this writing, he is hitting .342/.390/.500, walking 5% and striking out 25% of the time. While he still has not hit anything over the fence, he has smacked 4 doubles. Most scouts think he will eventually move off short due to his size, he is 6”2’ and 175 lbs.
Eric and Kiley had Seise 12th on the Rangers list. I could see him move over to third, where his power profile fits more. Even with the great numbers, Seise has struggled against the southpaws, with a .143 AVG and OBP and with an alarming 42% K rate. In deep leagues, Seise is the type of player you need to jump on. He will probably be available in most leagues and since he missed all of last year due to injury, he should be off most owner’s radars.
Hey y’all!
With minor league baseball back in full swing, I thought it would be fun to give my risers and fallers. Time to plant my flag! I decided to give a riser and faller for each position. Feel free to chime in the comments with your own riser and fallers!
Catcher
Riser – William Contreras (ATL) – Atlanta dabbled in the Realmuto trade talks this offseason but decided the price was too high but maybe they knew William Contreras is on his way. Contreras is an athletic catcher with an above average arm and he has improved behind the dish. What really stands out for Contreras is his above average hit tool for the position that sprays the ball to all fields.
