    Default Top 3-5 prospects you think will play this year

    The keeper that I'm in has a NA position. Currently, I have Profar, but I don't think he'll really have much of an effect in the bigs this year and he probably won't be in my top 6 for keepers. So I'm looking for other guys that could potentially just get some good playing time this season. I'm pretty sure the top #5 ranked on mlb.com are taken.

    Also, I know Sano is only in A, but is he worth a look at as a longshot keeper in a limited keeper or just keep an eye on him in the coming seasons?

    I think Gerrit Cole is the best bet of the top 10 to play this year.

    I highly doubt the Twins rush Sano, they have no reason to.

    Marcell Ozuna could be worth an add, huge raw power, top prospect for the Marlins.

    Wil Myers - TBay
    Avisail Garcia - Detroit
    Mike Zunino - Seattle
    Yasiel Puig - LA Dodgers

    Those are a few of the hitters who are close to getting a phone call IMO.

    Myers may not get the call for budgetary/contractual reasons.

    See here: http://www.draysbay.com/2013/3/18/41...rs-and-super-2

    Zack Wheeler is definitely on the verge of being called up as well IMO.

    Thanks guys for the responses. If anyone in the outfield gets injured for the Dodgers then I'll probably go for Puig. Ozuna just got picked up and Myers has been taking since the beginning of our season. I think right now I'll choose either Cole or Wheeler - it looks like I could use more help with pitching than hitting right now.

    No problem.

    Cole would be my pick of those two.

    Good luck.

    Nobody thinks Tavares will get a shot this year or was he excluded for being ranked too high?

    legit question and in all honesty, I simply forgot him.

    Another name that just popped up on my radar as a possible call up is Sonny Gray in Oakland. His name was mentioned as a possible call up if Parker has any lingering problem with his neck and cant make his next start. They are saying he should be fine to go but if he cant, watch for Gray to get the call.

    Taveras is a candidate for a September call up, but the Cardinals always take it slow with prospects.

    Beltran's contract expires at the end of this year, look for them to let Beltran go and bring Taveras up.
