Who to draft?

I can pick 2 of the 6

I'm picking at the back end of the first round of my minors draft for my dynasty league, where we essentially re-draft the amatuers from the previous year. I have back to back picks (16 and 17) and I'm picking 2 of the following 6 guys- Jacob Turner, Shelby Miller, Zach Wheeler, Kyle Gibson, Jiovanni Mier, and Miguel Sano. Based on grades I think John is highest on Turner and Mier, but I see Miller ranked higher than the other starters on a lot of lists, and I'm a Giants fan so I'm excited about Wheeler, and Gibson in ranked about where Wheeler is. Sano is the great unknown, but the Miguel Cabrera comps are enticing. Two part question- Who has the most potential in your opinion, and who is most likely to reach the majors?

Here we go...

Potential- Sano
Most Likely to reach majors- Gibson

I still would not draft either of these two. I would go with one of the three high school arms depending on who you like more and take Mier with the other pick. In my opinion, Turner is the best with Wheeler right behind him because I don’t like Miller’s chances at staying a starter compared to the other two and I don’t think he has much more potential than Wheeler and Turner has more than him.

Thanks!

Miller and Gibson are gone…my pick(s) are up, choosing between Turner, Wheeler, Mier, and Sano.

My MLB squad has Lincecum, Greinke, and Verlander, and my MiLB has Bumgarner, Friedrich, Teheran and Stewart so I have pitching….leaning both SS’s but still undecided. Jacob Turner seems like the best overall prospect in terms of ranking lists.

I'd go with Turner,

then it’s basically a coin toss between Mier and Sano… which other prospects are available?
