AL prospects - help please

[Radar3454]

I am in a AL only league and have a bid draft tonite - after the draft we have a 8 round snake draft that is mainly prospects. We can keep up to 5 players a year and by adding $5 to what they made the previous year. For example someone paid $1 for King Felix last year and now have him for $6 this year.

 

I know all of the prospects that are in the majors now and the well known prospects in the minors(Young, Upton, Wood, Kendrick, Hansen, Lester, Weaver, etc). What I am looking for is other prospects you think have a good chance to get called up at some point this year and be good next year.

 

Thanks in advance

A couple off the top of my head:

 

Daric Barton (1B/DH - A's)

Franklin Gutierrez (OF - Indians)

Billy Butler (OF - Royals)

Ryan Garko (1B-Indians)

Dustin Pedoria (2B-Red Sox)-are they going to try him at SS?

Jeremy Sowers (SP-Indians)

Thanks for the help

 

I ended up w/ Jared Weaver and Daric Barton but mainly decided to focus on players who might be able to help me this year and went with players on the DL players in Eaton and Greineke, couple relievers in Riske and Witasik, Bobby Kielty(who should get some PT), and Nick Green who I was able to activate to replace my 2nd Catcher.

 

This is my 23 man roster - 5x5 League

 

C B Molina $7

C M Redmond $1

1B L Overbay $20

3B A Hill $5 - Keeper

CI A Boone $18

2B P Polanco $8 - Keeper

SS O Cabrera $19

MI J Lopez $5 - Keeper

OF J Kubel $11

OF M Bradley $17

OF B Wilkerson $20

OF R White $9

OF T Salmon $2

DH T Hafner $22 - Keeper

P - J Nathan $33 - Keeper

P J Lacker $15 - Keeper

P D Haren $21

P T Wakefield $12

P S Chacon $7

P Jesse Crain $2

P G Mota $2

P R Soriano $3

P K Calero $1

 

That may not look like a good team but this is a 12 team AL only league and it was one of the favorites after the draft. This league has been in existance for 15 years and I was able to join it 3 years ago and have finished 2nd and 3rd.

 

A few suprises from the draft

E Guardado - $32

Bj Upton - $3 - my positions were full so I could not bid on him

Dmitri Young $21

C Patterson $13

J Uribe $18

Iguchi $25

Gibbons $24

 

I highly recomend geting in a bid draft league if you have never tried it - it is much tougher and more fun.
