    Fantasy baseball: Weekend preview May 9-12

    Circle Saturday on your calendars, as Paul Skenes, arguably the most ballyhooed pitching prospect since Stephen Strasburg, will be recalled on that date by the Pittsburgh Pirates to make his MLB debut against the Chicago Cubs. Skenes represents the latest "must add" among prospects, a pitcher whose immediate impact might be akin to that of fellow No. 1 overall draftees of the past 15 years, Strasburg (2009 pick, June 2010 debut) and Gerrit Cole (2011, June 2013). Skenes has already been added to ESPN rosters in 26.6% of leagues in just the past 24 hours, and if you're in one of the roughly 40% of leagues in which he remains available, head to your free-agent list right now to pick him up.
