Called up prospects. How are they doing in your franchise?

[countryboy]

Just wanted to do another fun thread.

Thought it would be cool to have a thread where we discuss how prospects are playing in your franchise.

I've called up Tommy Pham and Stephen Piscotty in my franchise.

I called up Tommy Pham when Holiday went on the 15-Day DL. Tommy has been playing great! So good that that when Holiday returned, I sent Randal Grichuk down to Memphis. Pham is hitting .307 with 1 HR and 14 RBI's in his MLB stint.

Piscotty was called up after I made a trade that sent Reynolds to Toronto. I needed someone that could play the corner positions so I brought him up. Piscotty has not disappointed as he is hitting .533 with 0 HR's and 9 RBI's. He has also has made some web gems at both 3rd base and 1st base.

So how about you? How are your prospects performing?

Jameson Taillon got the call up for me in Pittsburgh after Charlie Morton was doing terrible. Taillon did worse! He had an ERA of 11+ in 5 starts and is back in AAA.

Michael Cuddyer got hurt the third game of the season so I called up Dilson Herrera and he's doing ok, .250 avg, 1hr, 14 rbi, 8 sb. Now Matt Harvey just went down so I called up Noah Syndergaard, he didn't have such a good start in his first game. 4 2/3 innings 6 runs, 9 hits, against the Giants. Hopefully his next start will be better.

Re: Called up prospects. How are they doing in your franchise?

I did a fantasy draft and now I'm in my second season with the Cubs. I called up Julio Urias at the start of my second season and he was absolutely dominating the league with around a 2.70 ERA before he got hurt.
I called up Carlos Rondon at the latter half of my first season and he helped me get the wild card in my first season with a sub 3 ERA. He started my second year injured. After he came back he was struggling with an around 4.50 ERA, but then he had a hot streak lowering his ERA to around 3.30, before he got injured as well.
I also called up Archie Bradley at the start of my second season and he was doing fine with an around 3.50 ERA before I dealt him as part of a package for Yu Darvish(I'm went all in this year as my players have been mostly doing really well: I have an around 100-38 record right now).
With both Urias and Rondon injured I called up Henry Owens, who has really struggled so far with an over 5.00 ERA; hopefully he pulls his act together.
I also called up Michael Santos for my final rotation spot; he has yet to make his first start, but he has had a phenomenal year so far. He started the year with under a 2.50 ERA in AA. I moved him up to AAA and he maintained an under 2.50 ERA as well. Hopefully the trend continues in the majors and he can help hold the fort while Urias and Rondon get back.

Re: Called up prospects. How are they doing in your franchise?

Called up Swihart in august of my first season and he's has started since. He's hit .295 with 11 home runs in about 300 at bats( I'm currently in may 2016). Owens got a couple spot starts the first season and earned the #5 spot out of spring the next year. He's pitched really well with a era in the mid 2s but I've been careful with his workload so far. The biggest surprise has been Younginer. In about 100 AA innings had a era of 1.75 with 10 K/9. Moved up to AAA and kept the strikeouts up and had a era of 2.5. No room in the future rotation so I moved him to the bullpen where he's become my #3 guy behind Taz and Koji

Re: Called up prospects. How are they doing in your franchise?

I traded a prospect for Wil Myers a few years ago. Eli Rosario.. he won ROTY and has hit 30+ HR each of his first 2 years.

I have a rookie at 2B this year who is hitting .290ish with 4 HR in about 50 games. Here's a video of his latest HR off of Julio Urias of the Dodgers.

Re: Called up prospects. How are they doing in your franchise?

Makail Franco and JP Crawford for the Phillies. In 2017 now. Franco has hit .50 with 61 Homers over the last two years while Crawford has hit .280 with 12 Homers while playing great defense.

Neither have been all stars but solid players. Crawford is now rated an 87 with a potential. Franco still just a 77 with b potential. Francos obp has been a probelm. For whatever reason I can't take a pitch with him.

Re: Called up prospects. How are they doing in your franchise?

5 games into my Cubs franchise I lost Soler for 2 months. In those 5 games he had 2 hr, 5 rbi and a .315 avg. Brought up Junior Lake and had to send him back down after 2+ weeks. His avg .216 0hr 3 rbi. Brought up Sczuzr to replace Lake. Was thinking about bringing up Bryant who is raking in AAA but Mike Olt is playing really well at the moment.

Re: Called up prospects. How are they doing in your franchise?

I just called up Austin Hedges. He hit a pinch-hit single in his only AB so far, so he's batting 1.000 as of now. Gonna get the start in my next franchise game...

Re: Called up prospects. How are they doing in your franchise?

I have a carry over franchise Braves from Show 14 to Show 15 that couldn't use OSFM 15,so I started up a Quick Count Season using OSFM 15 instead.
I didn't plan on playing with it till the all star break, but I had some free time, so...
With Mike Minor on the DL, I didn't even bother to replace him with Foltynewicz, but called up Matt Wisler, who is a 75 overall on OSFM
The movement on his 12-6 curve & slider was to great to pass on. Much better movement than Folty's knuckle curve. Wisler is better than his 0-2 record, in my season, indicates. Damn anemic 0ffense.

Re: Called up prospects. How are they doing in your franchise?

J.D. Martinez went down for me for a few weeks so i called up the powerful yet undeveloped bat of Steven Moya from AAA thinking he'll get spot starts/pinch hits etc.

Well hes completely frozen the slumping Rajai Davis out of the lineup by only hitting .419 through 11 or 12 games i think it is
