Fantasy Baseball Forecaster for June 6-12

On tap: Will this be the week we see the major league debuts of Pittsburgh Pirates right-handers Tyler Glasnow, Jameson Taillon and/or Chad Kuhl, all of whom are excelling at Triple-A Indianapolis? The Pirates have provided no official word, but there are hints to the possibility. Manager Clint Hurdle has already been quoted saying Juan Nicasio could move to the bullpen when the prospects are recalled, and while there's no official date for the "Super Two" arbitration cut-off, teams generally project it to range in the first 2-3 weeks of June. In addition, the Pirates' past four most prominent prospects to debut -- Gregory Polanco, Gerrit Cole, Andrew McCutchen and Pedro Alvarez -- all did so between June 4-16 of their respective arrival seasons, and all did so in home games.
