Looking For Help Listing Minor-Leaguers For Draft Room

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, the new NFBC draft room will have all players who appeared in at least one game in the majors last year and previous major-leaguers, but we will need to request Player IDs for any players who have yet to reach the majors. So here's my annual request from all of you preparing for the 750-player Draft Champions Leagues to provide a list of prospects who need to be added to the Draft Room.

I'll update this first post with the list, so somebody lead off and we'll add from there. Thanks.

Here, I'll start!!!

Brent Honeywell
Willy Adames (SS)
Brendan Rodgers (SS)
Eloy Jimenez (OF)
Ronald Acuna (OF)
Nick Senzel
Scott Kingery
Gleyber Torres
Austin Meadows
Michael Kopech
Mickey Moniak
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Nick Gordon
Brendan Rodgers
Kyle Tucker
Francisco Mejia
Chance Adams
Jake Bauers
Tyler O'Neill
Jorge Mateo
Kolby Allard
Mike Soroka
AJ Puk
Stephen Gonsalves
Justus Sheffield
Miguel Andujar
danny jansen-tor
zach collins-chisox
chris shaw-sf
alec hansen-chisox
mitch keller-pit
corbin burnes-mil
Christin Stewart - DET
Mauricio Dubon - MIL
Dylan Cozens - PHI
Cole Tucker - PIT
Rogelio Armenteros - HOU
Renato Nunez
Patrick Wisdom
Travis Taijeron
Rafael Ortega
Bryce Brentz
Richie Shaffer
Yonny Chirinos
Ryan Yarbrough
Roemon Fields
Brandon Dixon

Thanks and we'll get as many of these added as possible before the first drafts start in November.

Wayne - You, of all people, leaving out Ronald Acuna (OF)? Or are you just trying to hide him?

Who? Never heard of him!

Maybe just wishful thinking (I can see him play easier and cheaper if he sticks in AAA for a while). Unless they unload Kemp (owed a net $19.0m per year for two more years) or Markakis ($10.5 in 2018, then FA but Mr. Steady averaged 622 AB over the last four years), then that guy I never heard of gets some more development time in AAA.

Will he be up in 2018? Yes, unless he seriously shits the bed, but the Braves may take their time (lessons learned from Dansby, clock, development, et al).

[Edwards Kings]

BTW...unless one sticks out of spring training, how about a Braves AAA(+) starting rotation of:

Gohara, LHP - (FB++, SL, CU-)
Allard, LHP - (FB+, CB+, CU)
Soroka, RHP - (FB+, CB, CU)
Weigel, RHP - (FB+, CB, SL, CU)

Newcomb, Fried (whom I haven't given up on with two plus pitches), Sims most likely make the big club, but may be down for more seasoning.

Hey...Seen how Alex Jackson is hitting in the AFL (though I hear he cannot catch a cold)!

Thanks Dan. Keep them coming. We will try to get all of the players on the list in the first post added before DCs begin. After that we'll have to add them as they are drafted, but I want as many minor-leaguers in the draft room as possible. That eases the burden of Placeholders during drafts. Thanks all.

Thanks all. I'm sending the list above to IT to get these players added. We have to work with our stats provider to get Player IDs for all of these minor-leaguers and hopefully we can get them all before drafts open. Thanks for getting us started here.

Thanks. These have all been added. The programmers built us a nice tool to immediately add players to the draft room once someone picks a Placeholder. We have everyone added on this list already, but if someone can't find a minor-leaguer and drafts a Placeholder, we can add him as soon as we are notified. This will eliminate the need for Placeholders during most drafts going forward. Very nice addition for us.

Just one of many new additions the SportsHub programmers have given us this year that will really help drafts move along. Can't wait to get these started.

Thanks. These are all added as well. Remember to send me that spreadsheet when the 50-round draft is done along with a list of owners' names. I have the 30-rounder, but not this one. We'll get those drafts loaded once the site is live.
