Prized Cincinnati Reds starting pitching prospect Homer Bailey will be called up to face the Cleveland Indians on Friday. Bailey was among the top pitching prospects in baseball heading into the year, sharing those honors with the Giants' Tim Lincecum, the Yankees' Phillp Hughes, and the Brewers' Yovani Gallardo.
Fantasy Impact: Go pick up Bailey if he's available, but there's no way I'd start him against the Indians, who boast possibly the best offense in the majors. He posted very good numbers in the minors, but his BB rate was high, and odds are he'll have control problems in the majors during his first season. He'll likely have some value this year, but he's not as refined as Tim Lincecum, for comparison's sake, so he's not going to dominate right away.
