FAAB speed AL only

[Boone]

Springer is on the WW and will cost beaucoup FAAB $$$. But what I really need is more SBs. What likely call-ups are candidates for stolen bases the rest of the way in a deep AL-only league?

Any call-ups likely to be saves candidates?

Thx

Well, Springer should get you 25-30 sbs if he sticks.

Springer ought to get a lot of SB.

He's been on base three times in MLB so far:
The first time he was on base, the next batter (Jason Castro) homered, so he didn't have much chance to steal.
The second time he was on base, he was running and had second base stolen, but Altuve fouled off the pitch. Then Springer was picked off first base three pitches later.
The third time he was on base, he wasn't running with either Castro or Altuve at the plate. James Shields was the pitcher, and he's hard to run on, so take that for what you will.

Maybe Billy Burns (the AL Billy Hamilton) gets called up? Maybe the Twins decide to play Eduardo Nunez? Is Craig Gentry already owned in your league?

Jarrod Dyson may be in line for some playing time with Cain out.

Anthony Gose is fast but hasn't mastered the getting to first part. His SB% rates in the minors weren't the greatest either.

Jarrod Dyson may be in line for some playing time with Cain out.

Agreed, but keep in mind that he's on the bereavement list for a few days at least.

Springer = high bid was $160 of a $200 FAAB in our league
Anybody see a higher bid?

That's pretty aggressive. Does your league allow $0 pickups?
