Welcome to the final edition of the MLB prospect call-up watch. Miraculously, I have a couple more prospects for the final week of the season. These two guys could possibly save your week.

MLB Prospect Updates & Recent Call-Ups - Week 26
Max Kepler (OF, MIN, Owned in 0% of fleaflicker leagues)
German prospect Max Kepler had a fantastic year in the minor leagues. In 431 minor league AB, Kepler had 13 triples, nine HR, 19 SB, a .318 batting average, and a .930 OPS. Kepler has a solid combo of power and speed (mostly speed), and he excelled in every offensive category this season. Keep an eye on Kepler, and if he starts more games for the Twins, he'll have a high upside. Just make sure he's finding his way into the lineup.
Keon Broxton (OF, PIT, Owned in 0% of fleaflicker leagues)
Keon Broxton is a deep prospect sleeper. His call-up may be a little unheralded for this season, but his minor league statistics are impressive. In 2015, Broxton has 12 triples, ten HR, 39 SB, a .273 batting average, and a .795 OPS in 491 AB. In 3,009 career minor league AB, Broxton has 60 triples, 75 HR, and 150 SB. Broxton may be valuable to owners in desperate need of stolen bases. Even if he's only used as a pinch runner, he should attempt a couple swipes before the end of the year.
