And I actually am trying to get the best talent.

Perhaps not too successfully, lol. That's why I ask for help. Not sure if I would have picked Miranda had I known I couldn't pick again for 20+ picks, but that's probably just me being bummed that I'm not going to get the Dodger I should have picked in the first place lol.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.Comment

There was nothing for him to do under the car, but it's tough to blame him now that he's dead.

In my opinion in these minors drafts you are looking for stars. The closer they are to MLB, unless they are at the top of a prospect list, the less likely they are going to be stars.
You are right that the players further away have high bust potential, but they also have both the potential to be stars, and they have higher value on the trade market.
I personally don't feel like it makes sense to gravitate towards players who are closer to being called up. For every 1 late bloomer who was undervalued as a prospect it seems like there are several *top* prospects who make it.Comment

Well, I do like my stable of minors guys and am certainly hopeful it includes some stars. I have mostly all high upside guys (and poor ol' Jeter Downs) and one dude who fits the "close to MLB but not at the top of a prospect list" description. Even that guy, though, ranges from #32 - 90 on most lists. Jeter Downs was probably drop-worthy but there was no real incentive for me to do so.
Thus far, I have:
J. Rodriguez (awwww yeah)
T. Casas
J. Downs
Erick Pena
Nolan Gorman
Brett Baty
Juan Miranda
All of those guys with the exception of Downs are top 100 guys. All my team's inherited pitching prospects graduated to real salaries - not sure if I'm keeping any of Sixto ($1), Houck ($5), or Spencer Howard ($5). Sixto and Houck may be worth a shot but not sure I'll have room. Also have Jarren Duran who is now $5 and I likely won't be keeping him either.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.Comment
