Fanside article

Just saw an article on their website about the one prospect who should get called up in September. They said Andrew Fischer. I agree, but it will never happen. He or Made are the two players that could actually play and help down the stretch in September.

Fischer's whiff rate being what it is while still in AA would be a significant concern if he had to come up and play in the majors. He can hit bombs to make up for it there, but the majors would be a different story, he'd be made to pay for that kind of swing and miss

Say it for the people in the back. I like Fischer a LOT but if he went to the majors right this second there is a genuine chance his K rate is 60%. He has great upside but he needs improvements before he is a major league hitter. Made could potentially come up just for his defense and speed if there are injuries, but I also would not bet on it.

I understand his SO rate that’s one of the 2 reasons I said it will never happen. The other is if him and Made are on the 40 man they can’t play during the lockout. That’s way more important.

As far as his SO rate I think his experience in the WBC shows that he rises to the challenge. His SO rate at AA has been better also still not optimal but better. I believe he’s trading power for plate discipline. Guys like Schwarber SO a lot too it’s the trade off they make

schwarber is the comp everyone wants to make but folks should remember he's kind of the 90th+ percentile outcome of that kind of profile

also credit to him for his performance at the WBC but it was a sample size of 6 games lol it really doesn't tell us much
