I love baseball players with funky fresh names (i.e. Coco Crisp, Melky Cabrera, Antonio Bastardo etc.), and the DSL Royals roster certainly does no disappoint. I get that it's Latin America, so I wouldn't expect to see any John Smith's or what not, but some of these guys have the craziest names I've ever seen. Get a load of some of these beauties! 3B-Wander Franco! SS-JECKSON Flores! LHP-Yojensy Arias! C-Eddy Melo! And my personal favorite... RF-Brawlun Gomez! If Brawlun Gomez ever rushes the mound, I want video footage! CLASSIC!

These rankings are for an ESPN Standard 5 Category League. The categories are R, HR, RBI, SB, and AVG, so obviously they don't hold much weight in actual player value. Here's how our Royals fare: (overall/amongst batters/amongst OF) Melky-#22/#15/#8 Gordo-#29/#21/#9 French Fry-#45/#33/#18 Gordon was drafted in the late rounds in most leagues, and Melky and Frenchy generally went undrafted. Needless to say, if your fantasy OF is the Royals OF, then you have a good OF. This is the first year in a long time where multiple players have significant fantasy relevance. On top of our OF, Hosmer, Butler, and believe it or not, Getz to an extent (SBs) have all been good fantasy pick ups. Regardless of how this translates to play on the field, and how much of the value is rapped up in SBs (Melky and Frenchy) I find it rather exciting.
