He’s certainly wound up on a ton of waiver wires. In fact, he’s probably available in the majority of mixed leagues right now. Sharp owners may want to rectify that situation.

Give Pie a look in deeper AL-only leagues if you need a stick as he’s not only starting now but is hitting leadoff for Baltimore. Just be aware that he’s been having some dental problems that could force him to miss a game at some point.

Signed by the Rockies out of Venezuela in 2004, Gonzalez reached Double-A briefly in 2009, but he’s been stuck at High-A since and given that he’ll be 24 next month and still isn’t showing any marked improvement at the plate, his chances of making it to the majors look very slim.

There’s no doubt he’s been way better in May (.275/.293/.338) than he was in April (.155/.204/.227), but it’s all relative, right? We’re talking about a hitter with a career slash line of .293/.334/.438, so you can see that even his massively improved May is still way below career norm levels for Crawford.

First, the good news: At two levels in the minors last year, Brown slugged 20 homers, drove in 68 runs, stole 17 bases and amassed a stellar .317 BA. Prior to his promotion to the Phillies last week, he has mashed two homers with 10 RBI and a .341 BA through 41 at-bats at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Now the bad news: This spring, Brown went 1-for-16 and has yet to demonstrate his enormous potential at the big league level. It also looks — at least early on — that he’ll be riding the pine against southpaws. There is no doubt Brown has incredible potential; the question is when will we see it in the bigs? If you want this kid on your Fantasy squad you’re going to have to spend that FAAB and burn the draft priorities now and with the list of top prospects that will be venturing to the bigs over the next month or so, it’s a rather risky move if you’re playing in a redraft format.
