2b prospects

He has had health issues, but very nice upside bat, which is what you want for fantasy.

I’d be a bit worried that he could turn out to have chronic back issues of some kind, but I think the setbacks this year were mostly the kind of things you normally get in rehabbing after a major surgery. Some past issues, like TJ surgery, don’t seem likely to be problems going forward.

If it turns out the RTS surgery was enough to put the oblique/rib issues behind him, he might be an impact guy by next year.

I know he’s already in the majors, but Giavotella is a favorite “sleeper” for me.

There’s a chance that Valdespin ends up at 2B next year if Reyes re-signs.

In the lower minors, I’m following Jonathan Schoop, Cory Spangenberg, and Rougned Odor.

I don’t have an opinion yet on Tejada, Culberson, and Gennett.

I’d pass on him, he’s falling out of favor quickly. Sean Coyle did great this year before his injury as a teenager and projects to move to 2B from SS. Also a chance that Xander Bogaerts moves to one side of SS or another, also a very high ceiling player, not a lot of plate patience but lots of power, figure him for Adrian Beltre-esque offensive lines.

I think David Nick ARI is a nice prospect.

But most of you listed players that are already owned i.e . havens…. Also were not allowed to pick up players that were just drafted…. we have to wait until our league draft. So the three i listed were the best options out there… I was thinking lombardozzi too, to whomever recommended that. Thanks guys!

Given the restrictions on player pickups, and the fact that there are very few 2B prospects in the past couple of years (and the good ones have already been promoted - Ackley, Kipnis), you might be best to hang onto Tejada and see what you can get in the offseason via trade or your draft, where you could get guys like Spangenberg, Wong, etc.

Why not him? I’d say his upside is much higher than that of either of the three you mentioned—great numbers in low A for a HS player in his first pro season.

Often its best to invest in MiLB Shortstops then 2B. For some reason you see more top hitting prospects start at SS and move . Its often easier to grab a couple guys like Franklin and Schoop and hope for the best (or worst) that they wind up at second.

And as guys go, Schoop is my pick if hes out there. I think next preseason he will be on all the lists, there is no one in the system blocking him at 2b.

yay for actually answering the question posed u knuckleheads

you’d be better off picking up somebody else (matt adams) that’s relatively under the radar (matt adams) and dealing them (matt adams) for a legit 2b prospect. culberson’s the best of the bunch, but that’s a pretty atrocious bunch.

LeMahieu.

The reason why the players I’ve listed are as some say “garbage” the are the top sleepers that are left and I chose most of them because they are close and relatively un-blocked in their path to the majors. Lombardozzi is already getting called up in sept. and it’s widely known that the Nats want to move espinosa to SS and trade desmond. Culberson is doing pretty well and has more power than Lombardozzi and there is no one blocking him in SF. Gennett gets a lot of hype but is really blocked by weeks but he could always be traded but that’s highly unlikely, so he’s out of the question. I really like the suggestion of Coyle so I may go that route. keep in mind that these are just back up 2b players that im looking to develop, I already have Neil Walker at 2b for years, these are just to cover me.
So who would you all choose?? Lombardozzi, Culberson or Coyle?
