Pirates to call up top prospect Jameson Taillon

HUGE news out of Pittsburgh, you guys: Jameson Taillon got the call. The right-hander has been promoted to the big leagues. He'll make his long-awaited MLB debut on Wednesday, in a degree-of-difficulty matchup with Noah Syndergaard and the Mets.

If for some reason Taillon remains un-owned in your league, go get him — now. Do it. Make the add. This is, without question, an actionable fantasy event.

We've been writing about Taillon for much of the year, because his numbers have been obscene. Over ten minor league starts for Triple-A Indianapolis, Taillon has posted a 2.04 ERA and 0.81 WHIP, striking out 61 batters in 61.2 innings while issuing just six walks. He hasn't allowed more than three runs, earned or unearned, in any start.

You want him, is what we're saying. Taillon has a chance to be great, immediately. The Bucs have been starting Jon Niese and Jeff Locke all year, so it's not as if the team can't find a spot for an upper-tier pitching prospect or two. (Tyler Glasnow might not be far behind.) Thor vs. Taillon will be must-watch baseball theater on Wednesday. Can't wait.

We should also mention that the Taillon call-up is a clear signal that the Super-2 hurdle has been cleared, so a wave of prospects could be on the way. Good times.
