Ranking available prospects

i will have overall pick number 2 and 4 and my leagues upcoming (next year, but got to start early) draft. below is a list of available prospects, give me a ranking of who is worth taking.

for interest sake here are my top prospects already to help in evauating position strength. kyle blanks, ryan flaherty, aaron hicks, michael saunders, garth iorg, neftali soto, travis snider, jed lowrie, brandon wood, aaron cunningham, nate schierholtz, bumgarner, neftali feliz, james mcdonald, ja happ, jeremy hellickson, henry sosa, kasey kiker aneury rodriguez (a huge sleeper pick for me, like him a LOT), balester and glen perkins.

so i want to build super strength level farm team, i would love to grab a super high ceiling guy and a super steady producer at any position.

here is who is available: freddie freeman, jefry marte, wilmer flores, logan morrison, carlos santana, mike stanton, taylor green, andrew lambo, james simmons, brett cecil, david huff, shooter hunt, derek holland, jordan zimmerman, mike montgomery, jaff decker, jason castro, brett lawrie, ben revere, pablo sandoval, kila ka'aihue, trevor reckling, conor gillaspsie

most college and high school guys are not taken, at least not past strausburg, for next year, so comments on high upside HS and college guys is appreciated. any huge international signings are welcome too (iona already gone).

thanks guys

super ceilings: Mike Stanton, Eric Hosmer, Wilmer Flores, Tim Beckham. Pick ’em.

steady? that’s harder to predict. i’d say Simmons, Zimmerman or Sandoval are good bets to be nice players.

For steady I'd go Sandoval

High ceiling I’d go Hosmer or Beckham

I see the future, and it is Pablo

Freeman
Lawrie

Santana

If you get 2 of these guys, you’re doing well

My Rank

1. Derek Holland
2.Wilmer Flores
3. Shooter Hunt
4.Carlos Santana
5.Connor Gillaspie (already reached majors)

also were do u get leagues like this

Gillaspie made it to the majors

either because Brian Sabean is stupid or he made an agreement in his contract that he would get some time in the majors, not because he was actually playing so well he ascended through the minors that quickly.

if u want late sleepers go for Jon Niese or Brad Holt

not much speed in your system already

I say pick Revere, if you’re looking to fill gaps. he has the most dominant tool out of everyone on the list, and the one your current roster seems to be weakest on. other guys, can’t go wrong with Freeman, Stanton, Holland, Morrison. those would be my picks

I'd probably get a bat

The most “ready” one is probably either Morrison or Hosmer, but really there are so many options at that stage it’s hard to go wrong.

My rankings

1. Holland
2. Stanton
3. Tim Beckham
4. Revere
5. Flores

Obviously Beckham and Flores are more “wild cards”, since they are mainly projection right now, but the talent is too big to ignore. I would focus on grabbing one of those 2 with your #4 pick, and try to get one of Holland/Stanton/Revere with the #2 pick. And that all depends on whether you want the potential #2 SP, the huge power/K guy, or the speedster with solid contact and gap power?

There is so much talent available that you really cannot go wrong here.
