Best group of minor leaguers in your league?

[joncarlos]

This is Frae's crew from PONY (15-team mixed). Not sure I've ever seen a better list.

Gary Sanchez
Xander Bogaerts
Jurickson Profar
Nick Franklin
Miguel Sano
Archie Bradley
Tijuan Walker

There are a few other stacked systems in our league, but that's the best.

[Silentmist]

In my 17 team mixed league I have a solid core

Jurikson Profar
Miguel Sano
Danny Hultson
James Paxton

Sadly I cut Shelby Miller last year for bench space during a title run. A lot of goodpprospects slipped through last year, so hoping to add one or two more good ones in a rebuilding year.

Prospects are nice, but flags fly forever. Guys in my NL league take top MLB draft picks right out of high school, and hold them for years waiting for them. This ties up roster spots better used to audition guys who can help immediately, if you have only a small reserve/ultra type roster. While the other guys on those lists look well worth waiting for, in mixed leagues guys like Franklin, Bradley, and Paxton, unless their salaries are a buck or two, likely won't become immediate keepers, but rather will be marginal of the roster types their first few years in the majors, imo.

In my 14 team mixed league, we go 20 prospects deep. I think mine is the best in the league. One thing I like about going this deep is it lets you roster the far away guys Weapon1 is talking about. That is how I end up with lots of top prospects eventually. I take chances on high school talent. Of course, I end up trading them all away before they get really great....I've traded Trout, Haprer, Heyward, Hosmer recently. All for poor major league returns. Flags Fly Forever, I know, but I really need to start hanging on to some of these guys instead of trading them in deals that generally lead me to second place.

[BuckyBuckner]

In my NL only league I have: Oscar Taveras, Zack Wheeler, Javier Baez, Kolten Wong, Nolan Arenado and Jed Bradley. I also have Yasmani Grandal, Brett Jackson and Arodys Vizcaino but they no longer have minor league status in my league. Vizcaino cause he was on the DL going into the season so eligible for the auction.

[Bostonianboy]

In my 10 team al only league I think mine is pretty solid.
Castellanos
Bogaerts
Martin Perez
Kyle Gibson
Matt Barnes
And have the 1st three picks in this years farm draft (Bradley Jr, Buxton and maybe zunino or springer)

Another owner has:
T. Walker
Odorizzi
Myers
Lindor
Machado

Yeah, our players are $1 once we activate them

[Weapon1]

Does it make for insane inflation in your league?

Would seem that it would. I think the salaries assigned to ultra picks tend to be too big, so we go with start at 7 and go down a dollar for each of the 7 rounds.

$300 auction budget, top guys go for $60-70.

Correct idea, but unless they make third place banners...

We have an 8-player farm system limit, NL only

one owner has 7 players - the number indicates their MLB Baseball America Top 100 rank:

3. Oscar Taveras, of, STL
5. Jose Fernandez, rhp, MIA
12. Tyler Skaggs, lhp, ARI
20. Billy Hamilton, of/ss, CIN
52. Nolan Arenado, 3b, COL
84. Kolten Wong, 2b, STL
Rymer Liriano, of, SDP - just got injured and out for season, or he'd be on the list I assume

the rank of the top 4 among NLers is - 1-2-6-10. geesh

5-S2 until the year after they lose rookie eligibility

this owner had 17 pts in 12-team 5x5, league worst ever, last year. but he sniff around the top of the league more than any other owner. he didn't trade for any of these guys, either - on a picking hot streak.

oh, and he won the (unweighted) lottery this year of the seven teams out of the money - so he'll get Mets C Travis d'Arnaud, too.

A manager in my league has Profar, Myers, Cole, and Bundy. We don't keep a minor league roster and we only have 3 bench spots. We keep 8 players each year and he was out of the race early last year. So, he loaded up on minor league talent last September.

I certainly have high hopes for this group. I have over the years tried to get myself away from pitching prospects, but Walker and Bradley are the kind of upside arms I am willing to take a chance on. Jurickson, X, and Sano could be special. Franklin probably has the lowest ceiling and Sanchez is still so far away and a catcher so who knows. I am hoping to get some help from Profar this year.

Where are you in Brooklyn?

[Bostonianboy]

Bah! I need to change that. I lived in Williamsburg off the L for 10 years after going to Fordham...now I live in Austin TX...the Brooklyn of Texas!
