[quote="the ROC"]Who would be in your starting lineup for a 'dream team' of prospects/rookies?
C -Matt Wieters 1B - Justin Smoak 2B - Gordon Beckham (Gotta put him here) SS - Tim Beckham 3B - Pedro Alvarez LF - Travis Snider CF - Colby Rasmus RF - Jason Heyward DH - Mike Moustakas
Ace - David Price SP2 - Madison Bumgarner SP3 - Stephen Strasburg SP4 - Tommy Hanson SP5 - Brett Anderson
Setup - Daniel Bard Closer - Neftali Feliz
Love the 3 LHP in the rotation..Bard is untouchable in high leverage innings, and it is just a matter of time before Feliz is converted to closer....

Location: Finally back home. A sweet 15 mi from Miller Park.
Somehow I've been able to assemble this squad in my 24 team dynasty. Obviously it can't quite compete against the best of the best but it's pretty nice. And thus it's my dream team. My MLB pitching is a little thin (no #5 starter) but the pipeline is setup at most positions.
C - Jesus Montero 1B - Chris Marrero 2B - Jemile Weeks SS - Adrian Cardenas 3B - LF - Zach Collier CF - Aaron Hicks RF - Ryan Westmoreland DH - Tyler Flowers, Max Ramirez, Adam Moore
Ace - Jordan Zimmerman SP2 - Jarrod Parker SP3 - Kyle Drabek SP4 - Martin Perez SP5 - (Balester, Odorizzi, or Danny Gutierrez)
C - M. Weiters 1B - J. Smoak 2B - G. Beckman SS - T. Beckham (I'd pick USC's Green here if I could) 3B - P. Alvarez LF - J. Heyward CF - A. McCutchen RF - M. Stanton DH - L. Anderson
Ace - M. Bumgarner SP2 - T. Hansen SP3 - C. Carrasco SP4 - J. Parker SP5 - E. Martin (I'd pick SDS's Strasburg here if I could)
i'll go with my roster in an 18 team dynasty league with 25 my minor league rosters c- jesus montero 1B- Justin Smoak 2B- i don't have one but will go with Gordon Beckham 3B- Mike Moustakas SS- Alcedes Escobar OF-Jason Heyward OF-Andrew McCutcheon OF-Ben Revere DH- Yonder Alonso
C - Carlos Santana (cle) 1B - Kyle Blanks (sd) 2B - Gordan Beckham (chw) 3B - Pedro Alvarez (pit) SS - Tim Beckham (tb) OF - Andrew McCutheon (pit) OF - Mike Stanton (fla) OF - Josh Reddick (bos) DH - Matt Gamel (mil)
SP - Madison Bumgarner (sf) SP - Tommy Hanson (atl) SP - Ethan Martin (la) SP - Jarrod Parker (ari) SP - Aaron Poreda (chw)
A few of those guys are favorites of mine because they are on my minor league roster... but how fun would it be to have these guys as your minor league roster?
