Almost Draft Time   What I'm looking for here is basically a preference for what route we should take.

I have put together some names that may be worth targeting in the 2nd and 3rd rounds and the 1st round board has some adjustments as well as a couple new names I'll throw at you.

The Brewers are looking to shake things up and made a bunch of moves.   How do you think this will work out for the Brewers.   Will Escobar  have enough bat to be a capable lead off hitter?   Is this the last of JJ Hardy, or will he be in the 3rd base mix, and what of Matt Gamel?   And with Bourgeios up is Hart the next to go?

I am in a 20 team H2H dynasty points league and I'm gonna need to add a couple minor league pitchers to my roster when I call guys up for the next period.    I have had my eye on these guys I'm listing below,  what I want to know is which of these guys has the best chance of being an ace at the MLB level.  I'd rather have the boom or bust guy here, than the solid #3 starter type.  Any and all opinions welcome, thanks.

Randall Delgado

Cody Scarpetta

Jason Knapp

Wilfredo Boscan

Wilmer Font

Kasey Kiker

Michael Pineda

Tim Melville

Danny Duffy

Jeanmar Gomez

If anyone has a guy in this range of propect who they think would be a better addition to my team, feel free to plug em.

It took Jarrod Parker only 4 starts to earn his promotion to AA.

,Last year  Parker was good,  but not great, in his first look at pro ball.  So far this year his K rate, GO/AO,  and BAA have shown improvement.   Whether these trends continue in AA for Mobile remain to be seen.

Overall, I think Parker is primed for a breakout season.   He has been overshadowed by some of his draftmates such as Bumgarner, Porcello and Alderson, but I don't think that will be the case by the end of the year.    I think he will be a serious contender for a spot in the top 5 pitching prospects going into next year.
