I thought it would be a good way to help everyone out with their drafting and their values of their prospects in their league. Post your minor league draft whether its the whole thing or just the first few rounds. And just a quick little info thing about how your minor league system works. You get the guy for a certain number of years whatever. And to even make it better for people if you want to explain your pick maybe why you liked the guy or something you could do that as well.
My draft is a slow draft starting March 9th and it lasts usually less than a week so I will try to get that up for everyone else as soon as possible.

My picks are bolded.
Bogaerts was #1 on my board so I was pretty excited to get him with the 3rd pick Russell I had as my #3. He is a few years away but he did well last year. Even though I already took a SS I took what I thought was the next best in the draft. Sanchez I had as my #6th. I think he is kind of risky but he has the staff ace upside. Hoped to get Bradley or Zimmer but both were gone even before my Russell pick My next selection of Dahl didnt really go with my ranks but he was a guy I wanted to get. He crushed last year. He is still far away but I like the chances of him being a quality player. I was undecided on Goodwin or Springer Springer got picked so it made my decision easier.

Wanted Wheeler pretty badly here but he went right before me. Cowart is a top 50 prospect in his own right so I wasnt too disappointed.

There wasnt much here I really liked. Decision came to Corcino and Fried. I figured since I have a lot of long term prospects already I would grab someone who could help sooner even if his ceiling and floor arent as high

Manaea and Stanek both college arms projected to go high in the draft. I figured I would take a flier on them even though they are far away still being in school. They might help come September when rosters expand if not I think they are 2 guys who would be fairly high on the top 100 prospect lists next year and I am just getting an early jump on them.
Peacock is another help sooner rather than later guy. There were a bunch of guys here I was fine with taking but I went with the now help rather than another arm 2-3 years away.
