ETA: This is my MO--trade prospects when their value is high for keepers this time of year.. Try to get some surpluses and fast starters in the auction. Trade those for prospects that I identify as ready to take the next level. Hold them. Rinse and repeat. Last year I snagged Gavin Lux week 2 to a guy desperate for arms for Matt Strahm and Matt Shoemaker. I matured him like a fine wine and just flipped him for a keeper Bregman. The fangraphs list is a good one for this practice, because it identifies high risk and reward prospects that are not on other lists.Last edited by Sour Masher; 02-12-2020, 08:09 PM.

Unfair to compare a prospect to a proven super star, but 80 FV and all. The glowing reports compel the comps for dynasty leagues.---------------------------------------------

No idea who has the better career. Acuna is the probability pick; he's performed at the highest level at a silly young age (and probably would have a year younger (talent is talent), but the Braves sucked that year so no reason to bring him up a year early like the Nats did with Soto), but Franco is scary good. My guess is that Acuna is easily the better fantasy player but Franco could beat him in WAR---as a middle IF he'll get more on defense and the HR and SB that Acuna will bust him in for fantasy don't help in WAR as much as Franco's likely OBP advantage. But, if both stay healthy and don't have a weird downturn in production (much more likely for Franco---he's only made it to A+, but if he is as good as advertised, he'll be up in 2020; the Rays are good and some talent won't let you wait), why bother quibbling over inner-circle HOFers?
