The Baltimore Orioles ' recent promotion of catcher/first baseman Samuel Basallo signals that it's time for various top prospects across the league to realize their dream of reaching The Show -- not because they're suddenly ready for action, but because there's no longer a reason to hold off.

PITTSBRURGH — Baseball’s top pitching prospect is getting called up to the majors. The Pittsburgh Pirates have decided to promote 22-year-old right hander Bubba Chandler ahead of their game Friday against the Colorado Rockies, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Growing up, the Chandlers would have family basketball games where Bubba, the baby of the family, would team up with his dad, Ruben. His sisters, Jordan and Cody, and his mom, Bobbi, would normally win. It was a family of athletes, and Chandler’s older sisters set the pace by being stars in track, basketball and softball.

Three top fantasy baseball prospects - Bubba Chandler, Sal Stewart, Brandon Sproat - that can make big impacts. These MLB prospects are waiver wire pickups or stashes.
