We have our first big call-up of the major league season!!! "Yoo-hoo!" You want chocolate milk, Cody Bellinger? "I was drawing attention to myself, since I was called up first." Oh, yeah, but you feel like you were always here. "Oh, well, that's nice of you to say--" Shut up, Cody Bellinger! Bradley Zimmer, now this is a call-up! "I'll be up soon!" Shut up, Amed Rosario! This is about Bradley Zimmer. Zimmer is a guy who is a speed-first, power-second, average-third guy. Actually, on base percentage second in leagues that count that sorta thing. In Triple-A, he had five homers, nine steals and a 30% strikeout rate. He looks like Keon Broxton who should be platooned out of the lineup against lefties. I will call him, Right-on Broxton. I grabbed him in all leagues where he was available, you don't want to miss out on the first big call-up. "Seriously, are you just ignoring me?" Bellinger, you're getting on my last nerve! For 2017, I'd give Zimmer a line around 45/10/40/.235/20. That could be the best call-up of the year. "Seriously?!" Shut it down, CB! Oh, and I'm aware that Zimmer went 0-for-3 with 3 Ks out of the nine hole, but Bellinger looked lost thru a whole two starts too when he was first called up. "Keep my name out of your mouth!" Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
