Thoughts?

Also, opinions on Tyler Skaggs and Anthony Rendon? Any potential for this season?

you are braver than me. Can't imagine how many years of rebuiding this will take,I hope you have some way of trading draft picks for keepers or something. I just wouldn't want to manage a team where theres maybe 1 top 100 player and no quick fixes and many years of being a cellar dweller. this looks like no fun at all

Ya it could take awhile, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. Hoping for a couple surprises but I think in the next year or so, some of these guys could be decent players. Arencibia, Yonder Alonso,Kipnis, Valencia, Snider, and Andino are all close and I'm 1 or 2 at least turn out to be good players. Pitching little weak now, but Moscoso, LeCure, and Hughes decent options with potential in my opinion. Hughes should bounce back from last year.

That's a headache! Hopefully, you have another team this year. Anyways, I would suggest either using projections (search within this site) and draft the best possible talent and breakout prospects, then hope for trades. Second, dig a hole, pretend your an ostrich.
Best of luck in the future with this one. (Wise drafting!)
