PROSPECT: Vaughn Grissom, SS, Atlanta Braves
ANALYSIS: Many fantasy owners backed off Grissom when he lost out on the Braves shortstop job out of spring training. However, he has taken the work in Triple-A in stride and is going to force his way onto the big league roster quickly with his offensive production across the board.
Grissom has slashed .394/.487/.667 across eight games to open the season while walking five times and not striking out. He’s collected five extra-base hits and two stolen bases.
The 22-year-old has primarily played shortstop in Triple-A, but with injuries in Atlanta and his offensive performance, he may push his way into the lineup with his bat first.
VERDICT: Stash him now, he should be up soon.
