I've recently picked up Daryl Jones, and need to drop someone to keep my minor league system at 15 players.
My MiLB roster is:
C- Lou Marson
1B - Logan Morrison, Sean Doolittle
3B - Pedro Alvarez
SS - Carlos Triunfel
OF - Mike Burgess, Mike Saunders, Mike Stanton, Andrew Lambo
SP - Trevor Cahill, Tim Alderson, Jhoulys Chacin, Derek Holland, Cole Rohrbough, Daryl Thompson
Now, the 5 guys I'm actually debating between are Marson, Doolittle, Lambo, Rohrbough, and Thompson.

Thompson
The kid has a shoulder injury. Potential long-term concerns.

Keep Marson just on scarcity
I like Doolittle, but don’t see him as a huge fantasy guy.
I disagree
I think Marson is a pretty weak prospect – his batting average this year is entirely out of whack because of a ridiculous BABIP. When he comes back to normal, he’ll be a .750 OPS catcher in AA – not entirely without value, but not very far from it. (Depending on just how deep your league is).
I don’t understand why people are so down on Daryl Thompson- just because at age 22, in his first try in the majors, he got knocked around a bit? And then got hurt? He seems like a pretty strong prospect to me. I also like Rohrbough alot. I’m not Lambo’s biggest fan, but I guess you should keep him over Marson or Doolittle. I can see the argument for dropping either of them, but I’d probably lean towards dropping Marson

I'd keep Marson, although granted
I’m thinking about things from more of a “real life” perspective than fantasy/roto ball.
Marson will be a solid MLB catcher. He really looks like a SS/2b out there. Sweet line-drive stroke, solid athleticism. Won’t hit for a ton of power.
Catchers who can hit .280-.310 in MLB with a few doubles and solid D are pretty freakin’ valuable
Based on your last sentence, he sounds like Kurt Suzuki
And Suzuki is already one of the best (Top 10, easy) catchers in baseball.

I wouldn't keep any
Lambo sounds like Rambo which is fun but really I don’t see any of them having huge upside.

totally disagree on lambo
I heard Tim Lincecum will win 1 Cy Young & 11 Tim Lincecums. Question is, how many Cole Hamels will he win?

between marson & thompson
w/ the final analysis being cut thompson. cut his ass now!
i like rohrbough & lambo the best, followed by doolittle.

hmm
personally, I’d say Rohrbaugh or Thompson…Rohrbough’s had great K rates and improved a lot over the course of the season, but he was 21 in A ball without being super dominant (4.94 ERA, 1.47 WHIP), so he’s still a ways away; with Thompson, it depends on your ability to tolerate risk of injury. The most recent story I saw was that he’s rehabbing at high A and was going to be okay long term. I think Lambo (great #s) and Marson (based on scarcity, batting eye, and being at a higher level) are definite keepers, Doolittle is more marginal but has a lot of power.
Sorry to change the subject a little, but...
Can somebody give me some sort of scouting report on Sean Doolittle? He just broke out this year, so I dont know much about him. Any help, tools, comparisons, etc, would be greatly appreciated.
Never, Never, NEVER give up
