Minor League Ball OT: Best Fantasy Baseball Game?

I am looking at getting back into fantasy baseball next season and was wondering what everyone thought the best fanstasy baseball sites/leagues are?  I would really like to find a continuing or dynasty league so that I can build a team and minor league system.  I am not to concerned if the site costs money or not, but would lieke to have something that is consistent with a good group of owners.  Any help would be great!

Minor League Ball Top 100 Lists?

Ok... going into a draft tommorrow and was wondering what sites have posted their top 100 2008 prospects?  Who are the most reliable or who do I really want to just laugh at?

Who do you see as the true sleepers from last years MLB draft?

Any help would be great and appreciated.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

and thank you again

Minor League Ball Joey Votto

Ok... so he is only getting his second start, but man, he looks good in Cinci's line-up.  Is he up to stay?  Is he Cinci's starting 1b next season or is he stuck back in the minors?

If so.... what are reasonable expectations next season?

.285 BA .370 OBP 22 HR?

More or less?

Any other thoughts?

Minor League Ball Ponson to be released

According to rotoworld Mr. Ponson will be released as early as today.  Slowley seems to in-line to get the call.  Baker and Garza also have to thought about.  I would like to see the Twins send Baker and someone to Cinci for E. Encarnacion since he was just demoted.  Cinci could use the young SP and the twins could really use a 3b.  Seems to make some sense to me....

Minor League Ball Minor League Report 5/12

Adam Miller vs. Matt Garza today.  Both pitched well with Garza getting the best and the win by going 7ip 5h 2w 6k, while Miller goes 7ip 9h 3r 2er 1w 2k.
Anything else we want to watch for today or tonight?  Any "sleepers" that anyone is keeping a particular eye on?

Minor League Ball Josh Johnson vs. Andrew Miller

I have opportunity to move Josh Johnson for Andrew Miller in a league.  My team in not that great and will be a better team in '08.  With that being said, Who would you rather have on your team at that point?  Johnson has proved himself in the majors for only one season, will it contine?  Are the arm troubles something to worry about?  Or is Andrew Miller just to good to pass up?

Thanks
JR

Minor League Ball Andrew Miller vs. Clayton Kershaw

I have both of these players in a league of mine that lets you only protect 1 minor leaguer.  These are my best two, so which one would you keep?  I do not need them to perform for me this season, but am looking at future success.  Kershaw seems to be the next Hughes/Bailey/Kazmir High School pitching stud but is a few years away.

Miller is a tall left handed monster who has a ton of potential.  He is closer to the majors.

So if you had to choose one, which would it be?

Thanks

Jake Dittler CLE
Steven White NYY
Cesar Rasmos SD
Scott Tyler FLA

Any help would be great!

Minor League Ball Sorry another Fantasy Trade Thread...

Which side would you prefer?

J. Bay, J. Crede, and R. Weeks

or

G Sizemore, E. Encarnacion (3b CIN), and Jose Lopez (2b, SEA)

the Sizemore side gets younger, but the drop from Weeks to Lopez seems to be a lot.  Sizemore to me will be better than Bay and is younger and Crede is a injury risk, but can Encarnacion continue to improve?

Minor League Ball 2006 MLB Draft.... a look back

I was looking over the first round of the this years draft and was trying to pinpoint the top prospects of the draft.  You have to like players like Miller (DET) Longoria (TB), and even Sinkbeil for FLA.  But who do you think are the top prospects of the draft?  Who has the most upside?  The sleeper that few know about.  just thought I would throw this out there on a thanksgiving evening!

Minor League Ball Bailey or Hill?

So... who is a better bet for now and down the road?  R. Hill Chicago Cubs or Bailey CIN Reds?  Who would you choose and why?  I know Hill is suppose to stay in Chicago's rotation and Bailey may break spring training with the Reds, but who has the better long term value?  Who may hit the injury bug sooner?

Minor League Ball Which Young SP?

I was wondering which of the following young starting pitchers has the most upside this year and beyond?

Anthony Reyes SP STL
Cesar Carillo SP SD
Jeremy Sowers SP CLE
Mark Pawelek SP CHIC

I know Reyes has a ton of potential, but what about the injury risks?  Carillo pitched a lot of innings in college, will that catch up with him.  Sowers does not have a power pitch,  but he understands the game, more of a #3 SP to me.  Pawelek is suppose to have a great arm for a high school kid.  So... who would you want on your MLB team for this year and the future?

Minor League Ball Alex Gordon, Billy Butler or Anthony Reyes

Which one of the above has the greatest upside?  I know that Butler is suppose to be a great hitter, but where does he play?  OF/1b?  Alex Gordan will be a top offensive player also,  but does he stay at 3b or is he also going to be the OF type.  Then there is A. Reyes the young SP for STL, is he the #5 guy in STL, or is he back in the minors since Ponson was signed?  I would like to know which of these three do you rank the highest?  Also would Hansen RP BOS beat all of them out?  Sorry for the million questions...

Minor League Ball Chris Resop FLA

Ok, so I have read in a recent diary that people really seem high on Chris Resop.  He has gone for a positon player (OF i believe) to relief pitcher only a few years ago.  He was crushed in the major leagues last season, but had great numbers in AA.  So... with all of them being said.  What does his future hold?  Some feel like he will be a great closer or set-up man.  Is that something that will happen this season or down the road?  Thanks

Minor League Ball Damon Hollins TB OF?

Ok, this kid played darn well for TB last season.  Good OBP, 20+Hrs, decent defense.  What does his future hold?  Will he be a regular for the next few years, or is his time coming to an end with the likes of D. Young, Crawford, and Baldelli coming back. Does he actually play DH for the season?  I like his potential but am concerned about his PT.  Thanks for any help
