Moustakas gets called up

 

Royals purchased the contract of 3B Mike Moustakas from Triple-A Omaha.

Out of nowhere comes massive news for fantasy owners. Moustakas, 22, is one of the top all-around prospects in the sport and was batting .287/.347/.498 with 10 home runs and 44 RBI in 55 games this season at the Triple-A level. In a year where it's been nearly impossible to find consistent production at third base, "Moose" should immediately become a fantasy star.

fantasy star is pushing it. He had an 850 ops in AAA

Have they said he's gonna play everyday? Hasn't Betemit been doing a decent job?

Betemit isn't the type of guy you let block a good prospect. With Aviles going to AAA, I'd expect to see Betemit logging some more time at SS and 2B.

Betemit isn't going to push Alcides Escobar off of time at SS. They have some young pitchers up and another about to come up, they'll want the great defensive shorstop out there. Has Wilson played 2B before?

Wow, Escobar's hitting like a SS from 19 dickety 3

[sneakypower]

i'll never, ever understand how that guy was considered the superior prospect to Starlin

SS don't hit in KC. Ask Tony Pena Jr., Andres Blanco, or Yuniesky Bettancourt.

Escobar's most similar comparison, according to B-R: Ronny Cedeno.
