Kahlil Watson Will Join High-A
1 year agoAfter being acquired from the Miami Marlins in the Jean Segura for Josh Bell deal, shortstop prospect Kahlil Watson will join High-A Lake County for the Cleveland Guardians. Watson, 20, is a former first-round pick in 2021 and could be an under the radar get for the Guardians. Watson has struggled this season with a .210 batting average to go along with seven homers, 22 RBI and 14 stolen bases, mostly in High-A ball. Still very young, the Guardians are hoping to tap into his athleticism that includes being very fast on the bases and a strong defensive asset. Watson isn't as hyped up as he was when he was selected by the Marlins, but he is still very young and has plenty of time to work his way to the big leagues. For now, dynasty managers can avoid Watson, but he should be monitored the rest of the way to see if he improves with a change of scenery.
