Finders Keepers Keeper League Chat

Just so everyone knows, I am leaving for holidays on Thursday and won't be back until the following Saturday and doubt I'll be checking in at all here. I don't want anyone worrying about me .

Can you go without making a trade for that long? I have my doubts. I think it will kill you and then we will have to replace you. Don't do it!

We shall see.

I've been extra active lately, because I wanted to get some stuff done before.

Told myself I wouldn't do it this year but here we go. As per MLB Top 100 list here are the FKKL top 40 prospects for the 2014 Prospect Draft. If I missed something and one of these guys is on your roster let me know. Also if one of them played in the MLB in 2013 at all let me know and I'll remove them. Think I got them all right but never know.

On a side note wish I had a top 6 prospect pick.

Terry has the #1, #2 and #4 rated MLB TOP 100 prospects. That's some good drafting.

Woah glad I stayed out of the Price trade, he did not come cheap

I might just overpay for one more starting pitcher. Offers are welcome

Sano

Yep. This league makes it interesting as he has to carry a roster spot for Sano for at least two years. Definitely has made me think twice about raw prospects who are highly prized. Probably worth carrying the roster spot for those guys (of course), but makes it a debate.

Now, Rosco, how can we make a deal for you 5th, 9th and 10th picks so you won't have any natural picks left in the draft?

It is interesting as far as carrying the prospects. Young guys that are 4 or 5 years away but talented create a dilemma when drafting. Sometimes I lean towards the maybe less talented guy but closer to the majors. I have 2 guys on my roster Bradley and Hultzen that I'll have to use roster spots on for probably 2 years before they help me, but I think they're worth it. Hopefully Bradley makes the D'Backs this year at pitches well so I could use him.

Not to mention I'm carrying Gibson, Profar, Gose, and d'Arnaud this year all good prospects but don't help much this year.

Plus veterans I want to hold on to that I can't really use, McCarthy, Street. Roster space is tight. Nest year will be interesting for me as well as I'll have 5 prospects that will have to be promoted. Really hoping Syndergaard and Barmes make the jump to the big leagues this year with some success. I think the other 3 are still another year away.

Prospect #12 Ventura made 3 starts for KC -- and was clocked with a 102 MPH fastball!

Thanks, I'll remove him from the list. He could make a nice FA pick in 2015
