Hey Pen - my AL only auction league reserve rounds (snake draft style) start today, and historically you all have given me some good advice on who to target. Anyone in an AL organization is eligible (ie no Kimbrell/Keuchel). Guys like Eloy, Whitley, Vlad have been kept. Below are some of the prospect types and MLB types still available after the draft. Who would you put near the top of the list for me? I have pick 9, 12, etc... Guys I like now are in bold, but feel free to set me straight! 2019 contribution potential highly weighted over long-term keeper value, as keepers are 3 yrs max. Reserves get a salary of $8 in round 1, $7 in round 2, down to $1 in round 8.
