How Good is my Fantasy Team?

Alright. I'm not a minors expert at all, not even close. But I decided to, in a new 10 team dynasty league, pick young players far earlier than anyone else, trying to attain an unbelievable minor system. I really think I succeeded. My team won't be good for a while, but they should be amazing, I think.

Majors team:

C: Wilson Ramos

1B: Eric Hosmer

2B: Dustin Pedroia

3B: Aramis Ramirez

SS: Troy Tulowitzki

OF: Giancarlo Stanton

OF: Michael Bourn

OF: Carl Crawford

UTIL: David Ortiz

SP: Stephen Strasburg

SP: James Shields

RP: Javy Guerra

RP: Kyle Farnsworth

P: Brandon Beachy

P: Matt Garza

P: Ubaldo Jiminez

P: Bud Norris

BN: Rickie Weeks, Colby Rasmus, Mitch Moreland, Mike Adams, Ted Lilly, Scott Baker, Francisco Cordero, Mike Leake

See? Young, mediocre, and full of holes, for the most part. However, here's my crown jewel minors system:

Wil Myers, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Manny Machado, Shelby Miller, Tyler Skaggs, Trevor Bauer, Miguel Sano, Hak-Ju Lee

Tell me how I did, prospect heads.

Pretty damn good, I know its a 10 teamer, but that’s more than solid and one of the better farm teams I have seen. Nice work.

I agree

All those guys are incredible. I’m surprised he was able to get Machado and Harper and Trout AND Shelby Miller in the same draft. That’s just theft IMO.

Having second pick helped.

It meant I had nearly back to back picks every round, I took Harper and Trout in a row, same with Machado and Miller.

What are some of the categories?

I imagine you have saves, and your closer situation might be shaky. I predict Guerra losing his job to Jansen at some point this year and Farnsworth, as good a K/9 guy as he is, is always erratic. Furthermore, the Rays have a history of having quick hook with closers.

Other than that, this is a solid team. Great mix of proven (love the Pedroia, Stanton, Bourn and Tulo combo) and young (Hosmer, Ramos, Beachy) talent.

Standard 5x5.

AVG SB R RBI HR and W ERA WHIP K SV

I never stress closers because of how volatile a position it is. I took two guys who should have jobs out of camp, and then I can pick up guys from there. And come on now man, no love for my Stras pick up?!
