I guess all of the GMs in Major League Baseball got together and decided that this would be a good week to start calling up some of their top prospects.
The Astros added Jacob Melton to their roster and the White Sox have decided Kyle Teel should actually stop wasting his talent in Triple-A and instead can start wasting it on a Chicago team that is on pace to lose 111 games (but at least that is better than the 121 they lost last year!)
Then there is Jac Caglianone. Drafted with the sixth overall pick last July, the Royals recalled him from the minors earlier this week and instantly slotted him into the lineup.
The move makes a ton of sense as the Royals have the fourth fewest runs scored in the majors, with only the juggernaut teams of Texas, Pittsburgh and Colorado scoring fewer runs. The hope is for Caglianone to provide an instant spark to the offense.
Let’s dive in and see why the Royals think this will happen.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
