Fantasy Baseball Minor League Draft

[TeeJayORTj]

This is a 12 team 26 player league with a 5 man minor league roster.

My minor league roster is now

1. Daric Barton (1B-Oak)
2. Angel Guzman (P-ChC)
3. James Loney (1B-LAD)
4. Daisuke Matsuzaka
5. B.J. Upton (SS-TB)


I am likely to drop Guzman and Loney.

This is the 3rd year to give a perspective and here who has been taken this year.
Justin Upton (SS-Ari)
Brandon Wood (SS-LAA)
Jeffery Clement (C-Sea)
Alex Gordon (3B-KC)
Craig Hansen (P-Bos)
Delwyn Young (2B-LAD)

Who should I be looking to draft this year?

I gotta do research but I'm a guzman homer. I'd look at BA's propsect stuff and BP and work from there.

yeah, that's probably a better idea if you've only got 5 spots.

Difficult to say without knowing who is already on teams.

Most position player talent is already gone. FWIW, Loney has played well in the Arizona Fall League, showing power. He's still two years away, though. I can suggest a couple of pitchers...guys like Broxton or Adam Miller, but they are simply slightly better crapshoots than Guzman (and all pitchers are crapshoots).
