Fantasy Baseball Prospects: Junior Caminero, Paul Skenes, James Wood

Fantasy baseball prospects can be a great resource for production from managers. They can also have a lot of trade value depending on their level of hype. For this reason, it can be an awesome return on investment to stash fantasy baseball prospects before they debut to save some waiver wire budget and acquire a jolt to your fantasy baseball roster. Let’s dive into a few notable fantasy baseball prospects to consider stashing now.

Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash

Here are all of our fantasy baseball prospects to stash for this week. Below we dive into a few notable fantasy baseball prospects.

Junior Caminero (3B – TB )

Caminero went 4-5 on April 28th with a double and two home runs. He has hits in eight of ten games after suffering his early injury. I don’t know if the team would push Caminero back to shortstop in place of Caballero, but I’m not sure Austin Shenton can keep him from at least moving Parades to DH for Caminero to start. The Rays can only be comfortable being the 23rd-scoring team in baseball for so long. There isn’t much left for Caminero to prove in the minors.

Paul Skenes (SP – PIT)

Rinse and repeat until he’s in the majors. Skenes’ pitch count hit 75 this past start (I have speculated one he hits 80, the next start could be in the majors). This was also his first start going six innings. He struck out seven, walked one, and gave up only three hard-hit balls all game. Caminero and Skenes are kind of 1A/1B of who to stash. Possibly your need can make the decision. I’m still speculating a mid-May call-up is happening.

James Wood (OF – WAS )

As of writing this on May 1st, Wood has an eight-game hitting streak. This includes two home runs during the stretch and three doubles. He struck out only twice over his last five games and has three stolen bases in his last three. Washington is making their plans clear as they slow-roll him while outfielder after outfielder goes on the IL without bringing him up. He’s on the mount rushmore of prospects waiting to get his call.
