Rank these minor league players

[cleo]

All players are either $2 or $5 and their contract year does not start until the player is called up to the big club.

Can you rank these players?

Sam Travis 1b Bos
Lordes Gurriel 2b Tor
Yulieski Gurriel 3b Hou
Bryce Brentz Of Bos
Franklin Barreto ss Oak

Carson Fulmer P Chi
Michael Kopech P Bos
Shohei Otani P Japan

I can only protect 3 players on my reserve keeper list. Yulieski G will be a keeper on my active roster but I did not have to start his contract until next season as he still maintains MLB rookie status. We are AL only, so if Otani signs in the NL, I will lose him.

I am very interested in reading any comments or thoughts everyone has on these players. Thanks for any help.

Otani, since it was leaked that his club might post him after next season. Intimidate impact.

Either of the Gurriels, depending on your needs...Lordes is going to take a year or two, Yuileski is obviously ready to contribute now.

Kopech...a starter who routinely throws in the high 90's, and has a slider that sits in the high 80's? Yeah, I'll take that all day long...

not sure if this is relevant for your ranking but the early word up here is that Lordes Gurriel's probable position will eventually be either 3B or a corner OF spot

Definitely NOT Sam Travis or Bryce Brentz.

I'd go with both Gurriels and Kopech. If you can make Yulieski one of your active keepers somehow and then keep Otani as one of your 3, I'd do that so you could then have 4.

Otani could have the greatest impact of all of them, but considering there's a 50% chance that he's a zero and burning up a roster slot all year, I think that nudges Kopech in front of him for me. But only slightly.

Thanks for the replies so far.

How much does Kopech stock go up (if any) by him going to the White Sox? Our league uses QS instead of wins, so not much of an issue if he remains a starter. I would think he would start as a reliever later this season and then move into the rotation for 2018???
