The Dukester 1 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Hey Everyone, I will be embarking on my first real true dynasty league experience with a minor league draft and prospect roster spots. Did a Keeper League a number years back but not to the degree this will be. Am wondering what are the best resources to turn to for quality info and reviews on the minor league prospects. Do folk go so far as to monitor even high school prospects? Thanks for any suggestions in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fishingguy12345 144 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Try here for links: https://forums.rotoworld.com/topic/819765-midseason-list/ You can also just Google "fantasy baseball dynasty rankings" and there'll be a number of sites that come up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hanghow 480 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Depends on the pool of players available for draft, but generally, you'll at least want to look into recent draftees and international signees. Fantrax and Dynasty Guru are pretty good; some of the paid ones like Baseball Prospectus and Baseball America can be a huge help if you're okay with a little investment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You will get a drop on rising prospects before they hit mainstream. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hanghow 480 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Forgot, Fangraphs' Board is good and they have a lot of good info, including easily sortable stats. Between them and Baseball-Reference, it's a lot easier to find useful Minor League stats than it used to be, though YMMV quite a bit with Minor League stats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mavsfan23 1,267 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'm a big fan of rotowire too. If you download their $8 app(iOS only) you get all/most of the content included. Their prospect and dynasty rankings are pretty good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This will largely dictate how far down the rabbit hole you have to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He has write-ups in English and ETA time guesses which some sites never mention but are crucial. Check it out. He has the top 110 prospects list up already as well as top 50 2020 rookie draft list following it. All with a paragraph about each player: https://www.imaginarybrickwall.com/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's under the Prospects drop-down; it's a list of prospects that can be sorted in multiple ways and readily be used to compare stats and rankings of players throughout the minors.

Ace_King 621 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Chris Crawford's column on the main NBC SE website is a good resource as well. Everyone does preseason lists but he updates his top 10 regularly throughout the season and will capture rising studs before the market catches on. 2019 was my first year doing dynasty and I picked up Yordan Alvarez and Nate Pearson through his column alone (Alverez is a confirmed perennial beast, the jury is out on Pearson but it is a lot easier to pick a guy up on waivers than having to do it in a pre-season draft where the secret will be out to the entire league by then). A benefit to what Crawford does is his rankings are geared towards fantasy. The "official" type prospect rankings that places like MLB do are geared towards real life and factor in defense, which we don't care about in fantasy. One thing to be aware of is Crawford focuses on who can help this year but you'll find gems using those parameters like I mentioned earlier (typical prospect rankings are career and real life evaluations).
