Our league has started our minors draft. Cole and Rendon were drafted 1&2(surprised to see rendon taken so fast), which leaves me to choose between trevor bauer, dylan bundy, and bubba starling. My team needs pitching and outfield equally. I'm really trying to decide between bauer and bundy, with starling still in the conversation. My question is, who has the higher ceiling, and who do you think has a higher chance of reaching that ceiling? Is there someone you'd take other than those 3? Thanks in advance.

this is a question more for people that know advanced metrics(because i know nothing about them). ive followed most of his outings and it seems like he'll dominate a game and have that one inning where he falls apart. hes got a low walk rate, so it's not a command problem. he's also got a good k rate, and has only given up 3 hr. but i look at his stats and see a high baa, paired with one hell of a gb rate. as i said, i know nothing about advanced metrics, but that kinda seems to me that perhaps teams are getting hit lucky against him. maybe lots of seeing eye grounders? i was hoping some of you could chime in and tell me if im on track with that, or if there is something else going on....

for those that care, here is an update on leonys martin. there were some posts about this a few weeks ago but an announcement was never made. enjoy ranger fans!

does anybody have any idea why he hasnt played yet? i can't find any news about an injury. maybe they are just taking some extra time to help iron him out aftger his poor ST....

who out of these 4 would you suggest i take with my next pick in the draft?

luke jackon, folty, garrett richards or max kepler? im leaning towards kepler because i think he's gonna be a good one, though obviously he's a ways away. then again, all but richards are a good ways away. i think i could use another bat. who do you think has the highest ceiling? who do you think would be the best pick for my team? here is my minors system

Tim Alderson
Garin Cecchini
Brody Colvin(will eventually be swapped for aj cole as part of a trade)
Jose Rafael DePaula (NYY)
Brandon Erbe 
Tyson Gillies
John Lamb
Brett Lawrie
Mike Minor
Jarrod Parker
Carlos Perez (ATL)
Mark Rogers
Josh Sale
Joe Savery
Jose Tabata
Peter Tago

i know when cleveland drafted him, they did so with the idea of converting him to a closer. how likely does that seem today? he's excelled as a starter, and cleveland could use a frontline starter. i am asking because i have been offered alex white for brett lawrie, and i do not want to trade lawrie for a closer. thanks in advance and sorry for the fantasy post

do you guys think adrian salcedo still project as a "possible" #1? ive read a lot about his repertoire, and that he has several solid pitches paired with plus plus command. i know he got banged around a bit in the fsl, but he was also only up there out of need, not that they were trying to jump him that high. im just curious why a 19 year old with his stuff doesnt get more attention. is there something i'm missing? or is he just not getting the love because he is still so far away? hopefully some twins homers can chime in here, or anybody that has seen him pitch live....

luke jackson or peter tago?

this is part of a discussion i am having with another ranger fan. both are good, but i cant help but think the rangers should have drafted tago over jackson. so what do you guys think? who do you foresee having the better future?

carlos perez-sp atl

adys portillo

luke jackson

adrian salcedo

carlos perez- c tor

adonis cardona

garin cecchini

the trick here is these guys all have limited stats to look at. i honestly cannot decide which of these to choose to my minors draft. i amleaning towards carlos perez for atl. but just cant commit to it. i am a rangers homer is why i like jackson, but im not sure where he stands in terms of future potential compared to these other guys. i am looking for high ceiling players that will be available at the tail end of my draft

I have two picks in my upcoming minors draft that arent too far apart, and i should be able to get any two out of these guys with my picks. Which two would you take and why? Disregard positional need for my mlb roster, as i have a fairly balanced team. Im just looking for the best available:

john lamb

michael choice

brandon belt

nick franklin

zach lee

matt harvey

chris dwyer

danny duffy

josh sale

stetson allie

right noiw im pretty sure i want to take lamb, but then im stuck on the second one. i am also open to any suggestions for elite talent that fell in the draft due to questions of signability

anybody know why he hasnt pitched in 10 days? minorleaguebaseball.com says hes on the temporary inactive list, but i cant find any news on him. last i heard he was considered a replacement for padilla... i hope its not another injury, but the fact there is no news on an injury indicates to me its more than likely a family emergency of some sort. thank you in advance for any relevant info you can provide

I have scoured the internet looking information about whats going on with, but the few sites I have found say "undisclosed injury." The guy hasnt pitched since jun 24. How can he be out for nearly two months and nobody knows anything? Surely theres some yankee fans that know whats up with him. I'd appreciate any input some insiders may have reagrding whats going on with him. I have him in my minors and I hope he's not seriously injured

after a relatively lenthy, and still ongoing, debate about whether or not dunn is an overrated player. some seem to think his OPS and power make him a premium player, while others, including myself, feel that his ridiculously high strikeout total, along with poor AVG with runners in scoring postion(and AVG overall) are well below average. i saw where john already did a prospect retro on him bac in 2007, but id still like to hear his take on whether he's a liability to his team or not, along with whether or not he is a future hall of famer, lie some on this board have recently suggested. i know he most likely will not do it, but it doesnt hurt to ask. so please john, any way you can do it??

mike moustakas has not played since the 6th. is he hurt or what? i have looked all over internet and cannot find anything about him. thank you in advance for any information you can provide

on a side note, im a bit worried by his low avg. hes hitting for solid power, but i really would be disappointed if he turned out to be another adam dunn. id rather have a 30 hr hitter with a .280-.300 avg than a 40 hr hitter with a .240 avg

milton bradley, jake mcgee

or

hunter pence

in a 16 team dynasty league. im well aware of what ind of season bradley is having, along with the fact that mcgee just had TJ. so i would i be wise to deal those two for pence? in this league, we also have real player salaries. im a little caught on this one, because there is also a lot of debate as to what kind of future potential hunter pence has as well. thans in advance for your advice

i would be dealing either gio or triunfel for cueto. our league is a little different than most leagues. it is a dynasty salary league. if cueto gets demoted this year, id lose him outright. should i pull the trigger or pass? And who should I trade in the process? Thanks a lot for any advice you can give, as it is a tough decision for me to make.

adenhart or scherzer? i know there has been a lot of talk about scherzer being moved to the pen. or has that changed and i didnt hear it?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

i would be dealing brandon wood and cameron maybin for ryan zimmerman. our league is a dynasty salary league, and my other two 3b are chavez and lowell and they are both 9 mil each. my OF is andruw, berk, and delmon, and i also have snider in my minors. good trade for me or no?                                                                                                                                                                                                        

i noticed he came out of yesterdays second game early, and didnt play today. maybe he is just resting, i dunno                        
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

sorry guys, but i need fantasy advice. usually i am the one giving the advice, but in this case i dont know as much about the player id be trading for as most people on here do. so here is the trade:

I would receive joba chamberlain
I would give my 2008 1st round minors pick. i dont know what the talent pool will look like for 2008 because I dont follow college players much, and I also need to know what joba's upside is, and what kind of career you guys think hell have. does he throw hard or is he a finesse pitcher? any advice would be greatly appreciated

now whats the deal with him? he hasnt played in like a week. at first i thought maybe hed been promoted. neither rotoworld nor rotowire have any recent news on snider  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

or did he just get pulled due to lack of command? if anybody was at that game or happened to be watching it, please let me know...  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

when is the 2007 draft exactly? i thought id heard it early june, but i never can remember the date.    
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

are they both hurt or something? i see snider hasnt played in three days and its been a while since morales pitched. what is the deal with these two? ive searched all over and found nothing                                                                                                                                                                

has anyone heard anything new on him? last i heard, he just had a sore shoulder and was going to have additional tests done on it. that was over two weeks ago. he still hasnt pitched since the 16th, and i havent found anything new on it.                                                                                                                                                                                                  

does anybody have any idea why he has not played the last couple of games? is he hurt? did i miss something?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

anybody heard anything on his injury? i didnt even realize that he missed a start due to a sore shoulder but just read it on rotoworld. does anyone have any additional info on him?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

apparently, he has arisen from his slumber                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

from what i saw he really dominated today. was he pulled due to pitch count, or was there an injury involved? he was one hitting frisco when they pulled him
