PrintFor fantasy purposes: I have a MiLB draft in the coming months, which includes all 2010 draftees and IFA's.
Who would you rank as the top 20 or so fantasy players from the 2010 MLB first-year player draft / International Free Agent signings?
Of course, there are guys like Harper, Taillon, and Machado who will most likely be everyone's top 3 ranks, but it becomes a lot tougher after those listed. I'm looking for a more in depth evaluation, and I trust your opinions.

RE
I was going to make a separate post about my league’s draft. Just to show people how it went. I don’t have any picks in the top rounds for two reasons. I didn’t want to follow the draft THAT closely during my first semester at law school, and secondly because I was able to move into picks 1 and 5 next season. Anyway, here are the top 16 picks thus far…
Bryce Harper
Jameson Taillon
Manny Machado
Matt Harvey
Drew Pomeranz
Michael Choice
Christian Colon
Josh Sale
Kolbrin Vitek
Yasmani Grandal
Zach Cox
Chris Sale
Jake Skole
Justin O’Conner
Alex Wimmers
Nick Castellanos

Thanks man.
Surprised O’Conner was taken so early. He struggled in his debut, albeit a small sample size though.
Wow
Someone was way high on Harvey, and everyone was way low on Chris Sale.

Harvey was taken by a Mets.
Can’t say why they didn’t draft Sale except maybe they see him as a reliever.

If everybody likes you, then either no one knows anything about you, or you're dead.
Rockies cleaned up.
was that you?
Taillon, Machado, and Josh Sale is very nice for those picks at the top, but adding Harvey and Cole at 22 and 32 is just robbery.

Yea I'm the Rockies
I also got Cecchini at #54, and I thought I had waited too long. Like dbreer said below, he’s a steal after about 35 picks or so.
If everybody likes you, then either no one knows anything about you, or you're dead.
To go along with Cowart and Castellanos...
your draft is pretty amazing. That probably means your current team sucks though. At least you have an amazing future to look forward to. If only half of these guys work out you still have the best draft by far.
ETHAN MARTIN!!!!
Actually I won the championship this year
as a wildcard. I’ve got a middle of the road club with a ton of young talent and lucked into it this year.
If everybody likes you, then either no one knows anything about you, or you're dead.
A little surprised that guys like Workman went before someone like Ty Linton.

Why?
Workman is a very good prospect. He was a complete steal at where the Red Sox drafted him.
http://bullpenbanter.com/
Agreed
and Linton wasn’t a lock to sign. It looked like he was locked into going to UNC at the time of both the real draft and our draft.
If everybody likes you, then either no one knows anything about you, or you're dead.
Ah
I totally forgot that that factored in. Linton’s ceiling seemed enticing, but this is an end-of-June list. Bah.

Garin Cecchini, SS/3B, BOS
If he’s still there after the first 40-50 picks, I’d grab him. He was a likely 1-supp or 2nd rd pick (borderline 1st rder based on some reports) before a knee injury during his senior year.
I wonder
no one has mentioned any of the IFAs.
Is it that you allow them to be picked up throughout the year? Or just didnt want to mix them up?
My league freezes all unsigned players as of draft day. Players who aren’t under a major league contract at that day can’t be signed until the next draft day.
We do a separate IFA auction
give each team a $15 Mil budget.
Highest Bids
Luis Heredia, SP- $12 Mil
Adonis Cardona, SP – $6.9 Mil
Eskarlin Vasquez, OF – $5.6 Mil
Carlos Martinez(Matias), SP – $4.9 Mil
Steilon Peguero, SS – $3 Mil
Vicmal De La Cruz, OF – $2.5 Mil
All of those guys are pretty good, and Elvis Sanchez would be another quality guy to look at.
If everybody likes you, then either no one knows anything about you, or you're dead.
Wow, Martinez (Matias) was a steal
I’d definitely take him over anyone else on that list.
http://bullpenbanter.com/
Yeah, the difference between Heredia and Martinez is odd
I’d take Martinez for $5M over Heredia for $12M for sure.
Baseball is my preferred sport. It should be yours, too.

What if they were both equal price?
Who would you prefer?
Archie, how big are your budgets/salary cap?

IFA
I assume no one is mentioning IFAs because the question asks about 2010 draftees.
Our league (above) has similar rules. IFAs have to be drafted the month after they have signed (August is a big month for us – and we have a draft each month).

Yeah the title only said draftees,
but I made sure I mentioned IFA’s in the actual post.
Just so we’re clear, I am interested in both draftees and IFA’s.
Where would you guys draft Carlos Matias (Martinez) and Luis Heredia?
Opps my mistake
Heredia is a lot of unknowns right now. Its tough to say… Looking quickly at Arichie’s draft above, I’d have them around Wimmers.

Agree with JD
both would be late 2nd/early 3rd round guys in the draft

Apology accepted
0-P Playful cyclops noticed your mistake.
We just do the one
usually its a slowdraft (its gotten harder to get together for a live draft with 18 teams). So guys like Maya are still available.
Also,
Where would Tsuyoshi Nishioka be draftable?
