Anyone from the 90s yet

#1 Post by viper »

Not a fantasy question but I'm curious if there are any MLB players or projected MLB players who are born in the 90s. If not, who might be the first?

btw - some of the first 90's kids.....my votes are (and not saying tihs year as call-ups - This year we will see a lot of the 1986 and 1987 age ranges, so the 90s may not really strike the majors until 2 to 5 more years - also note that these area not neccessarily my favorites, just guys I think will be on the fast track, though I do like quite a few of them!):

Cubs - Starlin Castro - perhaps a september call-up.
Detroit - Jacob Turner - The way they moved Porcello so quickly...makes sense to watch his rise.
Cleveland - Jason Knapp - probably one of the faster moving pitchers, but I'd hope he would stay in the minors for at least another two years
White Sox - Miguel Gonzalez
Rays - Tim Beckham - will go to high A and could get as high as AA this year
Red Sox - Ryan Westmoreland - very advanced hitter for someone so young.
San Diego - Jeff Decker
Colorado - Nolan Arenado
Cardinals - Shelby Miller
Milwaukee - Brett Lawrie

anyone I'm missing? :)

i agree w/ Castro and if Theriot hits the 15 day expect to see him sooner...

I think Knapp wins out of all of these names barring the previous injury mentioned...
