Help With Upcoming Keeper League Draft

by tarheels24 on Oct 30, 2011 3:22 PM EDT

A little background here, I am currently in a keeper league that allows you to keep anyone, but you have a max cap of 100 million. This means that in the off season higher priced players are often cut and you get some very good major leaguers available in the draft. Also available in the draft is all the 2011 MLB Draftees.

The 24 team league is skewed some so pitchers have more value than hitters and because of that they tend to have more value in the draft.

To my question, even though I followed the last draft a lot I am looking for suggestions on which minor leaguers I should target as I am looking for players with quick ETA . I currently have the 8th and 11th pick in the first round, one 2nd rounder, and 5 3rds and quite a few 4th and 5th round picks.

Any favorite prospects or suggestions would be great. Thanks.

It won't be until around Spring Training since there are Major Leaguers involved.

And we need to see new salaries and teams

I’m writing up a post with some of the 2011 draftees who could make an impact as soon as 2012, and should have that up later in the week. I would take a look at them at either of those picks, depending on which Major Leaguers are potentially available.

Top of my head

2011 draftees with the best chances of contributing in 2012 are Cole, Bauer, and Rendon.

quick ETA

top of your list should probably include Bauer, Gray, Jed Bradley, Rendon. Maybe Cole (I think he’s not arriving until 2013 at the earliest, though), and a sleeper ETA-wise could be Cron (they stuck him in rookie league for some reason where he killed the ball, but he could move fast)
