I claimed this guy off waivers on Opening Day almost as an afterthought. He had good ratings, but the stats of a classic AAAA player, and at 27 I did not actually expect him to contribute at the MLB level. But he tore up AAA, and due to injuries and trades, I gave him what I thought would be a brief call up, but he played so well, I have decided to keep him in the lineup. Only 29 games, but he appears to have finally figured it out!
Anyone else have an example of a late bloomer or a surprising call-up?
