Best group of minor leaguers in your league?

[madducks]

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!

Bostonianboy lists Brooklyn NY but lives in Austin TX. Got it......i think.

Didn't realize you've been on this site for 2 years. When i saw 12 posts, i assumed you just recently created your profile. That's why i was kidding you about the inconsistency.

I don't know if it's the best in the RJEL (20-team mixed), but it's pretty good...

Jurickson Profar
Kolten Wong
Adam Eaton
Shelby Miller
Julio Teheran
Wilmer Flores
Micheal Choice

I might put the group of Myers, Boegarts, Rendon, Rosario, Hak Ju Lee, Franklin, Leonys Martin, Bauer and Jose Fernandez above yours in RJEL but still very solid

No worries...I am not the most active poster but I read posts all the time. Great source for advice...even for a lurker.

We go so deep in that league that a lot of us have solid groups. I have Oscar Taveras, Christian Yelich, George Springer, Jonathan Singleton, Gary Sanchez, Carlos Martinez, Tyler Skaggs, James Paxton and the way far off Luis Heredia.

How about the following in AL only:

Olt
Tyler Austin
Hak-Ju Lee
Bogaerts
Sano

with the potential of replacing Lee with Gary Sanchez

[cardboardbox]

We only keep 6 so I had to trade away a lot of talent for less value than they are worth but this is what I'm keeping:

Myers
Cole
Fernandez
Zunino
Correa
Bauer

I also have four first round draft picks so I should be able to add to this quite nicely.

Last year I had:

Trout
Harper
Moore
Bauer
Cole
Gary Brown

Just those top three alone is as good as my farm teams will ever get.

What do you guys think about how many minor leaguer slots makes sense? We allow just three. More sounds nice but what's the trade off? Also we don't allow them to be traded in-season. Hitters are 8-s2, pitchers 5-s2. It works on but in curious to hear about your rules / approaches.

[Judge Jude]

We allow 8, and they are 5-S2 until the year after they lose rookie status (130 AB, 50 IP in MLB).

I'd rather we had fewer, but these owners LOVE those farmhands.
2-round April 15 draft, and a 1-rounder on June 15. Lots of teams have all 8 slots filled at that point...

What's the downside of more? What about allowing prospects to be traded in-season? Our guys fear an owner will be taken advantage of, and will look to buy some lottery ticket prospect for real major league talent -- thereby affecting the outcome of the race.

el diablo hit on the inflation aspect.
meanwhile, 6 of our 12 owners joined in the 1980s (two of us are originals), and the 2 "newest kids" joined in 2002 and both are now over 60. The youngest owner is about 45 and the oldest is 70 with several just behind him. I'm heading into my 30th auction, and the median age of this league is older than I am!

So your point is a good one, but we're good on the experience end - too good!

[Silentmist]

Made a few last minute trades the day before the deadline for our keepers to be due, going in with...

Jurrickson Profar
Wil Myers
Miguel Sano
Danny Hultzen
Jorge Soler

Their salary becomes $1 when activated, here's to hoping I've got a big run in 2014.

[cavebird]

Since making this post, he added Myers and now has no major league keepers. It's pretty funny really.
