Ive had like 10 offers so far. It's a strong offer but i actually think it's fair. Kershaw would go higher than the bat in any dynasty draft and the pitching prospect is not elite or anything. Not super valuable in a 20 team league.

Let the auction begin! Best offer by thursday at 1am will get the legend Kershaw. Current top offer (ive received a few so it's strong) top 10 dynasty bat top 100 pitching prospect MLB ready.

So i have an offer out for Kershaw if it's declined i'll do a 2 day auction for him.

A Kershaw auction might be fun too.

Currently taking offers on Kershaw. Received some strong offers and good chance he get's moved soon.

Yeah...in a re draft i think you have to take Kershaw but in a dynasty it's close.

Looking to make some moves. - Desperately looking for a 1B power bat. I'm open to really anything. Get at me. - would also like to move a SS prospect for another prospect at a different position. - Willing to move Kershaw but it would take a lot. (Really good bat + good young pitcher) JFL19 is open for business. inquire via PM

Haha good job North. I like this title better.

Breaking: Correa recieves lifetime ban from baseball. Prison time.

Alright fellas. Amed Rosario: OTB Law #3 prospect MLB.com #5 prospect. BA Scouting report. Amed Rosario, ss | image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red SCOUTING GRADES Batting: 60. Power: 45. Speed: 60. Defense: 70. Arm: 60. Based on 20-80 scouting scale—where 50 represents major league average—and future projection rather than present tools. Born: Nov. 20, 1995. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-2. Wt.: 190. Signed: Dominican Republic, 2012. Signed by: Chris Becerra/Gerardo Cabrera. Background: Sandy Alderson took the reins as Mets general manager after the 2010 season and promoted Chris Becerra to international scouting director in 2012. Becerra had previously worked as an area scout in Southern California—he recommended Robert Gsellman for the 2011 draft—and in his new role focused on Rosario as his first major acquisition. The Mets signed the Dominican shortstop for $1.75 million on July 2, 2012, and that bonus amount stands as a franchise record for an international amateur. Rosario, who was teammates with Rangers right fielder Nomar Mazara as a youth in Santo Domingo, graduated from high school before turning pro. His father, who was a lawyer and a judge, helped steer the signing process. Rosario wowed the Mets at instructional league after signing and made his pro debut at Rookie-level Kingsport in 2013, ranking as the No. 1 prospect in Appalachian League at age 17. After ranking as the top position prospect in the short-season New York-Penn League in 2014, he shot up to high Class A St. Lucie in 2015 and opened 2016 back there before earning a promotion to Double-A. Scouting Report: Tall and lean, Rosario began to fill out his frame and swing the bat with more authority in 2016. He also improved his pitch selectivity and bat-to-ball skills, resulting a career-best .324 average and walk rate of 7.6 percent across high Class and Double-A, while his .833 OPS ranked fourth among all minor league shortstops. His bat plays best when he lets the ball travel and uses his hands, strong wrists and plus bat speed to drive the ball to all fields. Capable of turning on the ball for occasional pull power, Rosario set a new personal standard with five home runs and .135 isolated slugging percentage in 2016. While his strikeout rate crept into dangerous territory at Double-A, Rosario has all the tools to be a plus hitter with possibly fringe-average power. Plus speed and strong instincts will help him take extra bases and steal perhaps 20 bags per season. The best athlete in the Mets system, Rosario stands out most for his glove work. Managers in both the Florida State and Eastern leagues recognized him as the best defensive shortstop in those leagues in 2016, and he has the easy plus range and arm strength to profile as a true impact defender. He will improve his throwing accuracy with experience, but scouts rave about his hands, live body and infield actions. The Future: Rosario has the potential to be an all-star shortstop with Gold Glove potential who can bat near the top of a lineup. He might begin 2017 back at Binghamton to refine his plate discipline, but he could push his way into the big league picture later in the season. The Mets have Asdrubal Cabrera under contract through 2017, meaning Rosario could be the organization’s full-time shortstop at some point in 2018. From MLB.com "Always holding his own at every level, Rosario dominated across two stops in 2016 offensively. He's always had very good contact skills and extra-base power has started to show up more consistently as he drew more walks and continued to fill out his ultra-athletic and projectable frame. He could approach Major League average pop in time. He has excellent speed and should continue to be a base-stealing threat"

Wow another list with Amed Rosario top 5. * Runs to the BORED thread to try and trade him

No problem!

Full scouting report: 12. Hector Mendoza, rhp, La Isla De La Juventud Age: 21. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-3. Wt.: 195. Certainty Level: Category 3 (Medium). Scouts first saw Mendoza as a teenager pitching on the Cuban youth national team at the COPABE Pan American 16U Championship in Mexico, where he faced a United States team that included Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager and Cubs outfielder Albert Almora. While Mendoza has become one of the top young pitching prospects in Cuba, it was surprising given his lack of experience and polish when he was one of four Cuban players who signed contracts to play in Japan last year. Mendoza reported to the Yomiuri Giants but never pitched in a game for their top Nippon Professional Baseball team. When he returned to Cuba, he took time off and didn’t pitch at all during the first half of the season, though scouts were able to get an in-person look at him because he did pitch in Mexico in November at the Central American and Caribbean Games. Mendoza, who is the closer for La Isla De La Juventud, didn’t pitch much in the second half either, but scouts did see him again at the Caribbean Series in Puerto Rico in February. He did pitch key innings for the Pirates down the stretch and in the playoffs in the team’s run to the finals, posting a 1.42 ERA with a 9-4 K-BB mark in 12 2/3 innings in six playoff appearances. Mendoza has the attributes to be a starter and would certainly be in that role if he were in the United States. Instead he’s a reliever in Cuba, although bullpen usage patterns there aren’t as rigid as they are with major league clubs, so Mendoza does throw two or even three innings in a game sometimes. At his best, he throws 90-94 mph with downhill plane, with solid strike-throwing ability and fastball command for his age. When Mendoza has to go more than two innings in a game he doesn’t hold his velocity, dropping to 88-92 mph, but he has a strong, durable build, so that’s likely more a function of how he’s been used than anything else. Secondary pitches are often about feel, and the two international tournaments Mendoza pitched in during the 2014-15 season weren’t great evaluation environments, especially in Mexico where it was essentially spring training for Mendoza. While his offspeed stuff didn’t stand out there, he showed better secondary pitches late in the season and during the playoffs. His 76-80 mph curveball is a solid-average pitch that occasionally floats away from him but but flashes plus with sharp break and good top-to-bottom depth. While the curveball is Mendoza’s primary secondary weapon, he started to use his changeup more as the playoffs progressed, throwing it to both lefties and righties. The changeup isn’t consistent and he leaves it up in the zone a lot, but it has excellent separation off his fastball. It projects as at least an average pitch and flashes above-average with good sink and fade when it’s on and he keeps it down. He has also tried to work a slider into his mix. With the potential for three average to plus pitches, Mendoza has the repertoire to develop into a midrotation starter. While he doesn’t have the track record of Norge Ruiz, his stuff at his best is just as good if not better in some areas and he has a more appealing frame to scouts. Mendoza has mentioned his desire to be a starter, and if he succeeds in that role and his stuff and command continue to progress, he could easily jump ahead of Ruiz on this list. Given his present talent level, Mendoza would probably pitch in high Class A right now if he were with an MLB organization. He just finished his fourth season in Serie Nacional, so he will need one more season in Cuba and then turn 23 on March 5, 2017 before he would be exempt from the bonus pools.

2. Swanson 3. Rosiro 37. Martes 43. Adames 69 Sisco 96. Hoffman

Yeah. Like...it seems way too high for him but really what do I know?

Also can we find a place to post the rules? I'm a newb when it comes to the 20 team dynasty leagues and need to go over them before the cutdown.

Looking to move a SS prospect for another position prospect. I have according to Law (lol?) 2. Swanson 3. Rosario 43. Adames and Giants top 2 prospect Christian Arroyo Would prefer to move Rosario or Arroyo.

Keller at 16 is sexy af.

BA didn't even have him as the top pirates pitching prospect. So he's probably going to be pretty low on the BA list.

Hurl speaks the truth.

I know it's early but does anyone know if this is a deep draft class?

You should spam the board with it to find out.

Have you thought maybe some of them just want to bang them? Not every girl want's a long term relationship.

Might?
