Brewers call upon touted SS prospect Segura
Jean Segura - SS - Milwaukee Brewers

Brewers recalled INF Jean Segura from Double-A Huntsville.

The 22-year-old shortstop was the centerpiece of the Brewers return from the Angels in the Zack Greinke trade. Coming into this season, he was ranked as the 55th best prospect in baseball according to Baseball America (up from 57th the year before). Segura has big-time wheels and should eventually hit for a solid average (he batted .313 over 400 games on the farm). He's worth picking up as a source of speed alone in NL-only and deeper mixed formats.
