Miguel Vargas has a new path to the majors. Let's discuss next on Fantasy Baseball to date in five.

Welcome into FBT in five. As always, make sure to follow and stream us on Spotify.

Today is Saturday, July 2nd. I am Frank Sample joined by Scott White, five prospects on the verge of getting the call.

Miguel Vargas with the Dodgers, Jared Kelnick with the Mariners, Max Meyer with the Marlins,

Esther Ruiz with the Padres and Brian Bello with the Red Sox. What is this new path for Miguel Vargas?

It's the outfield, Frank. It's the outfield, something he hadn't played until making a couple of appearances.

There are appearances there very recently in left field. Vargas has gotten some exposure to first base,

second base before. So it's not crazy to see the Dodgers try him in left field,

especially since he should have pretty good range out there. He's a fast runner.

The reason why I think it could be his path to the majors is because they just lost Mookieed Bats.

They don't really have a lot of outfield depth. They traded AJ Pollock before the start of the season.

Lately, they've had to make do with Trace Thompson, Eddie Alvarez.

Trace Thompson and Eddie Alvarez out there. Not really championship caliber players there,

either one of them. Vargas obviously seems like he would be an improvement.

Now, that's injury doesn't sound like a long-term one. But even so,

they could use Vargas in a bunch of different places, including third base,

Justin Turner and Max Muncie, who they've mostly been using that this year.

Neither one of them is performing up to expectations and just may not

bounce back like they're hoping. Vargas, hitting wise, this is what Dodgers general manager,

Brandon Gohms had to say about Vargas' hitting. We feel really strongly about his ability to hit.

I think he can roll out of the bed and hit. So that's not what's keeping Vargas out.

And so I just get the feeling this is going to happen sooner than later for him with the Dodgers
