BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The endless chain of Oriole prospects to graduate to the Majors now includes Jordan Wesburg and the number-four prospect in Baltimore's loaded farm system has gotten off to a nice start in the Big Leagues. Through 10 games, the 24-year-old is slashing .314/.400/.457 with seven runs, six RBI, and four walks against only four strikeouts.

Ten games is, of course, a small sample size, but Westburg was mashing in Triple-A prior to his promotion. In 67 games for Norfolk, Westburg had an elite .939 OPS with 18 homers, 57 runs, and 54 RBI in only 67 games. Need an even bigger sample? Last season, in 91 Triple-A games, Westburg posted a .869 OPS, which is still well above average. This Orioles lineup suddenly looks lethal, and Westburg is a great opportunity to grab a slice of it.
