Daily Notes – Thursday

One minor leaguer I’m keeping a close eye on is the Rockies’ Jhoulys Chacin. The 22-year-old righty was expected to be recalled from Triple-A to take Aaron Cook’s place in the rotation, but Esmil Rogers got the call instead.

Perhaps the Rockies are just stretching him out a little longer since he pitched in their bullpen as late as July 23. But the point is, if you’re in a deep, competitive league, now is a good time to grab Chacin while he’s still free. If your league is a bit shallow, though, feel free to wait until he gets called up, as this is an imprecise science, to say the least.
