I need a consult from my fellow fantasy GMs!

by josephornelas on Nov 12, 2010 12:24 AM EST

I am in a dynasty league and need to pare my team down from 25 to 15 players going into Spring Training while slotting 8 additional players into a minor league list where said players are career minor leaguers or at least MLB rookies.

My goal is to re-build with high end prospects. High ceiling trumps age or being close to the bigs. My problem is I have too many prospects and having trouble ranking them. I want to keep Teixeira and Pedroia along with established stars I have acquired over the years such as Lincecum and King Felix, Kershaw, Chapman, Pedro Alvarez, and Colby Rasmus

Here are my guys, please let me know who you think I should let go of and who I should keep. The question boils down to what 10 players should I cut? Thanks!

Pedro Alvarez

Colby Rasmus

Gary Sanchez

Jurickson Profar

Marin Perez

Dellin Betances

Tyler Matzek

MInors List:

Nick Castellanos

Bryce Harper

Manny Machado

Miguel Sano

Manny Banuelos

John Lamb

Jameson Taillon

Michael Pineda

Neil Walker for sure as one of those guys

If you didn't know by now, my screen name is sarcastic

I agree on Neil Walker

He was productive this year but he isn’t anything special

about right

but I’d keep sano, and find a cut somewhere else. Bard maybe.

Sano was the one I had the most difficulty with.

Tremendous upside, sure, but he’s so far away from making an immediate fantasy impact. At least with Bard there’s a chance he’s closing next season.

agreed

maybe Bard, maybe Nick Franklin (if pure upside is the criterion, I think I’d take Sano over Franklin)

with Tex locked up

I’d drop Freeman. I’d keep Sano in that spot, but this list looks pretty much like what I was thinking

That or try to trade him and AJax for a better OF

Sano, Betances, Profar

I would rather not cut Sano Betances or Profar — their ceilings seem higher than say Austin Jackson’s, John Lamb’s or Nick Castellanos (whom we don’t know alot about beyond his high school career)
