Fantasy Baseball Draft: Prepping for my Minor League Draft (who to take?)

I like taking bats in a minor league draft…..like both Profar and Rendon, but would not argue with Darvish. How is he in the minor league draft when he will be in the Rangers rotation this season.
I like Starling or Grandal in the 2nd round.

Where will Bogaerts be selected? I like him with your 2nd pick if he is available.

The thing with Darvish is im not too fond of the stretch of SPer’s that came over here with hype and flopped… granted i don’t think this will necessarily happen with him but im leaning more towards one of those bats (Profar or Rendon) with the top pick overall since i think they have a safer floor for success.

On Bogaerts i would definitely consider him with the second pick as well for some reason i forgot to add him in that column. I still think Gary Brown and Bubba Starling have a higher ceiling then him though.

Any thoughts on Lindor’s bat? I have read a lot of scouting that is praising him…

this may help

Grab him as quick as you can.

this is out of my area of expertise.
but i’d say lindor and profor or darvish.
wouldnt really just take darvsih tho.
japanese players tend to fail in this league.
so i wouldnt take him lightly
