We are entering that part of the season where a slew of players are being called up due to injury or ineffectiveness. The thing is, we’ve already pretty much blown through the top prospects, so now we're on to the lesser known guys — the deep guys who don’t get discussed quite as frequently so maybe you’ve never heard their name or what to expect from them. Today we’re going to take a look at some of these guys and get a good idea of what kind of performance to expect from these rookies and whether or not a top prospect or…

The Baseball Show, guest Craig Mish Craig Mish (@CraigMish) is the national host for SiriusXM's Baseball coverage, and he brings all of that insight and knowledge to The Baseball Show this week. We weigh the effects of Ronald Acuña's call up to the majors by the Braves, and if he's as good as advertised. We also recap the debut of Dodgers hurler Walker Buehler, and if there are other young pitching options that should be considered in the same company. Buelher vs Mike Soroka vs Jack Flaherty, but you can only have one.…
