Singleton was still available in my Yahoo! league. Even though I already have Goldy and Abreu (as well as Morse and Craig who are 1B-elig), I had to grab him just based on the potential and dropped Bonifacio.

I have Addison Russell, so obviously i'm biased, but I think he has higher upside. Seems to get on base at a good clip, more power.
Of course it's really tough to gauge when they are both working their way up the ranks. I think both have a pretty clear path to the majors (i.e. no major players blocking them) so that's even.

Lindor may not be up til September and even then would just see limited AB's.
If you stash Lindor you're rooting for the Indians to go in the tank by the trade deadline.

I'd probably rather have Russell long-term because a 20-20 SS is extremely valuable, but he was a good way's away even before the injury. No idea when he gets called up, but June 2015 seems like the absolute earliest.
Lindor seems like he'll be more in the mold of a 30 steal, handful of HR's with a very good AVG/OBP SS, which is nice, but easier to find. He and Baez are the only one's of this great SS class likely to be up this year though.
For dynasty/deep keeper, I'd rather have Russell. For yearly/shallow keeper, Lindor.

Cool thanks for the replies fellas. It's a H2H points keeper league and I have Xander at SS at least for next year too so there's no urgency for a call up, was looking more for their long term offensive expectation. Russell sounds like the better prospect for my league, going to add him this week. Thanks again.
They are the highest ranked AL prospects on the site I follow that's available in my league. Buxton, Correa, Sano and Singleton aren't available, is there anyone else I'm missing? My ML spot is open and wanted to grab the best available.

Looks like he may be in an AL only league. Either way I'd rank the Cubs guys for fantasy purpose as follows
Bryant
Baez
Alcantara

Ooops sorry, yea it's AL only.

With the Cuddy at 3rd experiment and CarGo possibly heading to the DL, Corey Dickerson is pretty much a must add right now.

Without knowing exactly who is taken, Mookie Betts might be the one you are looking for........

I dropped him because of the O face he makes when he runs.Long Ball Larry said:

No clue. One day they're writing him off and signing Morales, the next day he's back in the lineup mashing HRs.Long Ball Larry said:

Agree with this. If he continues his ridiculous tear through the minors at AAA, he'll be top 10 on all the prospect lists next year. He may even be up in Boston later this year.Angry Beavers said:
Only bummer is it looks like he'll be playing OF rather than 2B because that's where the Red Sox need help.

Buxton. Correa, Sano and Singleton are gone, and I'm going by the rankings on my site that has Russell and Lindor next in line. They have Mookie further down behind guys like Odor and Sanchez(NyY) so I haven't given them much thought, hence my question if I missed anyone.Angry Beavers said:
What's Mookiee's ceiling, don't know much about him. (Plus I have Kipnis long term)

Mookie's lower on the rankings because prior to last season he was just a raw athlete and not a highly regarded prospect. The light bulb went on for him in 2013 and his plate discipline has been excellent since then.
I'd say his upside is something like 300/380/450 with 10-15 HR and 30-40 SB. Playing in Boston with his OBP/Speed combo, he could definitely bat leadoff and produce 100 runs some day.

You guys are awesome thanks for the info.

Where would you guys rank soler amongst the very top prospects? Drafted him late this year hoping he'd be a poor man's puig if he got the callup
MAC_32
Footballguy
I'd be surprised if he gets a call in September. If everything clicks, about a year from now at the earliest.
Michael Brown
Footballguy
Yeah that's pretty much where i'm at. Missed time early but hitting .333 in AA so far. Figure if he really tears it up he may get a call late in the year. It's a very unique dynasty setup so even just a call-up would be great for me

Soler is a real wildcard. I'd got Dahl instead in my deep keeper, I think he might be a better long-term target.

if this Moss, the one that is hitting lefties, is real - him.

I like Moss a bit more, and with position eligibility factored in, a good amount more.Annyong said:

Jake Odorizzi is having an interesting season. His 2-6 record and 5.31 ERA may be keeping him off rosters, but he's struck out 71 and walked 25 in 57.2 IP. He has a 3.14 FIP, and his struggles can be largely attributed to a .372 BABIP.
Maybe it's not all bad luck, but at least some of it has to be. He's definitely one to keep an eye on.

I keep wanting to pick him up, but those walks were scaring me. Then he goes and cuts down on the walks for 3 starts and gets lit up (with some pretty bad luck involved). No idea what to make of him.

I just dropped him. I can't imagine having any faith in him to start him so he was just wasting a spot.

I guess this means the Twins don't have a ton of faith in Pinto , Kubel or any of the others they could be rolling out at DH righting the ship (though you'd think they'd want to give Pinto some AB's to adjust).
Nobody else is hitting now, so this seems like one of the best spots Morales could've ended up in. Plus, it's not like Willingham and Arcia will ever have a long stretch of both being healthy at the same time.

this could be a kinda scary middle of the order if Willingham and Arcia are in at the same time.

I lean Cosart over Morton. He gets a terrible nl team in their park and Tampa is completely lost right now at the plate,
Morton over Cosart, easy. Cubs and Marlins aren't exactly world beaters there and AZ is not very pitcher friendly. Yeah, TB not that great, but I'd almost always start a NL pitcher over an AL pitcher all other things being equal.
Wood has been a bit of a wild card this year (does your league include pitcher hitting stats?)
7 of his 11 starts he's allowed three er or less, but does have the propensity to blow up pretty good. He doesn't have all that favorable matchups either.
I may be tempted to give Danks a chance if I had to, with two home starts, but I'd avoid.
Cosart has gas can potential out there too.
I'd probably run Morton out there, and then I'd avoid the other three unless it was a h2h league. Then I'd flip a three sided coin between the other three and pray they don't blow up my ratios.
right.
Kubel already designated for assignment, Willingham about due for another DL stint.
Not crazy about Minnesota home field, but it is almost summer so Morales has a good shot for plenty of ab's and should be good for decent average and some bombs. Probably wouldn't expect all that much for a few weeks as he'll probably need to get timing down, but no reason to think he will not get a bunch of starts in the middle of the lineup. I'd burn a #1 waiver wire priority on him, wouldn't expect anyone else worthy of that till at least end of summer.
