probably all 9 of those available from 49 to 75 (49 is the 'best' available) will be gone
there are another 6 from 76 to 100; possibly one or two of them slides to 19

Kristian Robinson, D-Backs. Just 18, flying a bit off the radar, starting this year in short season ball in June. Future stud.
Fantrax has him as a top 10 prospect in 2020. He went early in our prospect draft. He seems to be getting tons of buzz. High risk, but very high upside. If he is still there as late as your pick JJ, pounce.
oops, my pick was actually 21 (and I was too late to get pick 13, which wound as Grant Lavigne)
even though this is not an HQ league - at all - the only top 100 guy left (so about 50 are NL) was No. 99 Cubs C Miguel Amaya. no thanks.
top guy on this top 150 list here was 81 Estuery Ruiz, but I never choose bodies of water, either
so I took the next one, No. 105 Marlins SP Nick Neidert. yeah, I already have 2 Marlins SPs and Neidert could be close, but it's almost impossible to add an SP in this league except via trade (only FA with 2 starts is the horrible Chad Bettis). I have to shoot for lightning in a bottle this year.
Neidert's dream path would be Greg Maddux Lite - which, um, won't happen. but aside from his first stint in AA, it seems like all he does is get outs - 3.02 career minors ERA even with that 6-start hiccup in 2017.
he arrived from Seattle in the 2017 Dee Gordon trade. age 22, starting season in AAA
ok, that possibly is more info than anyone needed

Was Will Smith (the catcher for LAD) available? Think he will surprise and get a shot much sooner than Keibert Ruiz will. Sorry I didn’t think of it sooner.
He was injured last year. Also, he did this in AFL, .367/.432/.324 and preseason .313/.313/.813 against much better pitching then he is seeing now.
In A+ ball, his ISO is .550. He has more extra base hits than singles.

Well it's his 13th game, he went 3 for 5 so far tonight and he is hitting .482 with 6 HR and 6 SB. Might not have to wait too much longer.
