I'm bored as well...thoughts on the #1 pick in the draft?

[Hornsby]

I've joined a Dynasty league (same one as GITH), and was lucky enough to pull the 1st overall pick in the draft. Now, it can be a major leaguer or a current minor leaguer, probably from last years draft. The major leaguers would likely be nothing more than spare parts, as the keeper list is quite large. So I'm leaning strongly towards a minor leaguer.

It's a H-H points league, so looking for a little input here. I'll throw out a few names, and if you have other suggestions, please feel free...TIA!

Corey Ray
Nick Senzel
Mickey Moniak
Leodys Taveras
Mitch Keller
A.J. Puk
Jacob Groome
Michael Gettys


Give me a little feedback, just an FYI, from casual observation so far, it looks like pitching dominates...but that's just an outside observation at this point.

Yan Gomes

And to think that I was going to trade Carlos Martinez for him...

I'd probably go with Senzel, who likely will be fast-tracked to the majors.

[Big Tymer]

Senzel is who I traded up in RJEL for fwiw. Think the good Anthony Rendon profile in terms of double digit steals and HRs with strong AVG and OBP. Great American Ballpark is a great offensive environment so no reason he couldn't peak higher and as a college bat he has a very high floor.

Do you need the guy to be close to ML?

Not really, I'm looking for the highest ceiling at this point. I figure that I'm looking at good 3 year rebuilding project before I can realistically contend. Being a dynasty league, I want to stay in the hunt for a long time, not rebuild every 2-3 years as I tend to do in a roto keeper league. Here are some of the better players that I have, majors and minors.

Byron Buxton
AJ Pollock
Yasiel Puig
Wilson Contreras
Hanley Ramirez
Nelson Cruz

Jorge Alfaro
Rafael Devers
Ian Happ
Daz Cameron
Kyler Tucker (in a trade)
Bradley Zimmer

Carlos Martinez
Carlos Rodon
Joe Ross
Jameson Taillon
James Paxton (trade)
Dellin Betances (holds count)
Ken Giles

Kolby Allard
Brady Aiken
Michael Kopech
Francis Martes
Kyle Zimmer (Lottery Ticket)
Jorge Lopez

[rhd]

Top ten that should be eligible on my list are, in order:

- C Ray
- K Lewis
- N Senzel
- V Guerrero
- M Moniak
- B Rutherford
- L Taveras
- M Keller
- A Puk
- J Groome

Another tempting guy is Kevin Maitan.

Thanks guys, I'm leaning towards pitching, hitting seems to be fairly easy to come by in this league. Stars of course are different, but again, pitching looks like the gold standard.

TINSTAAPP. Gimme Senzel, or maybe Ray if you really don't like Senzel for some reason.
