“Uncover the Next Fantasy Baseball Gems: Is Jose Soriano the Breakout Star You’ve Been Waiting For?”
Adael Amador – 2B, COL: 1% rostered
(CALL UP, SPEED UPSIDE )
The Rockies are also calling up Amador, who struggled in his first taste of the big leagues last year, but he’s just 22 years old and has been showing better plate discipline this season, slashing .275/.408/.450 with two home runs, four RBI, nine runs, and three stolen bases in 49 plate appearances at Triple-A. He does have some contact issues, but there is certainly speed here, and potentially 15 home run power in Coors Field, which could make a .240 type of average palatable in fantasy leagues. The Twins are also calling up Brooks Lee – 2B/SS/3B (3% rostered) and sending Jose Miranda down to Triple-A. Lee was sidelined by a back strain late in spring training, but figured to play every day for the Twins. He didn’t have a great spring, and is not much of a power/speed threat, so I think he’s a better real-life player than fantasy player.
