Which Minor leaguer to add?

by jcflash5 on Jul 2, 2025 12:41 PM EDT

My Fantasy league allows for you to have up to 4 minor league players on your team that dont count against your major league roster. Currently, I have Julio Teheran, Shelby Miller Manny machado and archie bradley. Some notable free agent are oscar taveras billy hamilton jake odorizzi and zach wheeler. Who should I drop and pick up if anyone to improve my minor league team position doesnt matter.
Just who will be the best major league players

I’d pick up Taveras. He’s very young for AA, makes a lot of contact, and he’s proving he can hit for plenty of power.

Hamilton is very tempting if your league has SB, but beware that the Cal League is probably inflating his average quite a bit.

For fantasy purposes, I would drop Teheran, Miller and Bradley and I would pick up Taveras, Hamilton and Wheeler.

I would do this too

With 4 spots you will probably have a chance to get Bradley back before someone else gets him.

Cut Bradley

Add Taveras. I’d hold Miller/Teheran. The key in these kind of very limited leagues is the quick addition to the major league roster. As soon as Miller/Teheran start contributing to the majors, you have 2 new holes. But trying to wait 2 years for Hamilton instead of a year of production from Miller doesn’t make sense.

I’d consider dealing someone like Bradley/Machado/Hamilton if they are on your roster to someone who doesn’t mind holding them for 2-3 years, while you get production from Odorizzi or Wheeler or Taveras. JMO though.

pitching

So many pitchers, even of the elite prospect variety, struggle for several years when they first reach the majors, that often it seems to be easier to get them cheaply a few years into their big league careers than to hold on to them in the minors. This depends on roster sizes and rules for your league, of course.
