Mr. Hosmer has just come up and is looking real good in Kansas City.  And yahoo had an article this morning stating that he could put up a Buster Posey type of season.

So who else is out there, about to come up to the majors, and has the potential to make a difference in fantasy this season?

Personally, I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Desmond Jennings in Tampa Bay.  Sam Fuld has had his run and is returning to the mean.  I think Jennings comes up, starts, and starts producing.  I know some in the Rays system say he's the next Carl Crawford for that organization.

I know of some others, but I'll let some of the rest of you speak first….

His "re-arrival" has been delayed about a week due to a sprained thumb, but am wondering if Dominic Brown might be the guy this year.  He was tearing it up in the minors the past few weeks before the thumb problem, and Ben Francisco has been begging for a demotion from the Phillies starting line-up.  Add a Shane Victorino injury to the mix, and if it wasn't for the thumb I'm betting he'd have been called up by now.  One to keep an eye on, or if you can spare the roster spot for a week, go get him now.

Been waiting on Brown all year…have him in a dynasty league and was planning on him starting out of the gate for me this season….hopefully he's back up in the majors hitting the ball soon.

Lucky you.  He sounds like he's gonna be the real deal.

I'm thinking it should be any MOMENT now for the Phillies to call him up, as opposed to any day.

He returned last night from his thumb sprain and went 1-2 with a couple of RBI.  He's hitting .361, 2 HR in 36 rehab at-bats, and Shane Victorino is slated to miss the next few games.  

Owners should pounce now if in need of OF help….

I have seen Brown snatched up in at least one of my public leagues…

That said, the Phillies came out today and see it may be a few weeks before he is called up, because they want him to get at-bats.  They say he needs to be major league ready when he comes up, which is an indication they are going to put him right in the starting line-up.  But, if they aren't blowing smoke, it could be a little wait before you see him.

You know, I wouldn't put it past Brandon Belt to come up in June or July and start putting up numbers…..

I wouldn't be surprised either…I think Belt is a legit player.  he'll be back to contribute at some point.
