Who will get the "Call"?

Among the Atlanta's deep hitting prospect crops are three 23 year olds currently at AAA. RF Juan "Gone" Machado, SS Max "Laser" Cabeza, and CF Cyrus Gibson.

Between these three there has been an ongoing debate about not who will get called to the Big Leagues first, but who will be the first All-Star once all three arrive.

It is no secret that the three have star potential.



RF Machado .322 with 68 HRs and 185 RBIs last season in AA, plus an additional 35 doubles and 4 triples.




SS Cabeza hit .291 with 113 Runs scored and 35 SBs, and even tossed in 68 XBHs.

CF Gibson hit .306 with 21 HRs and 120 Runs, and 45 doubles and 23 SBs.


All three made the AA All-Star team last season,
Machado and Gibson won Silver Slugger awards, and Machado won the AA MVP award.
Only time will tell how the careers of these promising prospects pan out, but right now the sky is the limit.
