AL Only - Deep Names
Posted: March 12th, 2014, 12:05 am
So having won last year (yay me!) I've got the 12th and 24th pick in this years minor draft. Meaning I've got to dig a little. Our minor rules are pretty straight forward. Any guy without 50ip or 130ab's in the majors qualifies, this means Tanaka and Abreu will be the first two picks. Here are some of the names I'm interested in hearing others opinions on;
(Of note, I only value these picks as far as trading them for current roster help. I flipped Sano/ Bogaerts this offseason for a 2 unit Chris Davis. So I'm really looking for "perceived" value. These guys won't be on my roster in 4-5 years.)
Raul Mondesi SS KC - Raul's kid, talent seems to be there and his old man was actually decent for awhile. I like the name recognition but he might be a draft and hold?
Rougned Odor 2B TEX - Seems talented, but that Profar guy is there...
Jorge Alfaro C TEX - Power but catchers can take time, worry if he slows the value isn't there.
Clint Frazier OF CLE - He seems interesting to me, may be gone by my first pick however.
Micah Johnson 2B CHW - Who led the minors in steals last year? Not Billy Hamilton. I just like the perception here.
Guys I could possibly add with major league time who could help me out soon? Yordano Ventura (finished the season on my roster but I'm not keeping at $10), Matt Davidson, Michael Choice (he's really interesting to me in that I could have him for a couple of weeks on my farm roster to see what he does).
Any input is appreciated Gents,
