“Supervised Minors” 2015 Prospect Rankings For Fantasy Baseball

Check in every Saturday for all the minor-league information and prospect rankings that you need for your Fantasy team.

These 2015 prospect rankings will be focused on minor leaguers, and each one I mention should be owned in Fantasy Baseball dynasty leagues.

Each week we’ll update the list with new names and minor-league breakouts in this article. We’ll also let you know when it’s time to pull the trigger on players in non-dynasty leagues.

This article will tip you off on who you should stash on the verge of making the jump to the majors.

We’re also taking the torch from Chris Meyers’ preseason Top 109 MLB Prospects. Chris will be writing a weekly piece on rookies that are essentially already in the majors.

2015 Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball

Rank	NAME	POS	TEAM	NOTE	CALL UP	ROSTER RIGHT NOW?
1	Kris Bryant	3B	CHC	Only thing standing between him and the majors are stupid baseball financial rules.	End of April	Should be rostered in all leagues
2	Carlos Rodon	SP	CHW	Throws pure unhittable filth when he's on. Sox won't let him sit for long.	April/May	Should be rostered in all leagues
3	Jake Lamb	3B	ARI	Appears to be on the wrong side of Yasmani Tomas. Great hitter.	May/June	NL Only, Deep Mixed
4	Noah Syndergaard	SP	NYM	Rough AAA season last year but strike throwers are always useful in our game.	Mid-season	NL Only
5	Addison Russell	SS	CHC	Too talented to keep on the farm.	Mid-season	NL Only
6	Dylan Bundy	SP	BAL	Coming off Tommy John, but the pedigree is undeniable.	Mid-season	AL Only
7	Miguel Sano	3B	MIN	Returning from injury that cost him 2014. Massive power potential.	Mid-season	Dynasty and deep keeper
8	Byron Buxton	OF	MIN	Huge talent has been overshadowed by injury bug. I still believe.	Mid-season	AL Only, Deep Mixed
9	Archie Bradley	SP	ARI	Elbow issues cut short 2014, but his 2013 was dazzling (1.84 ERA, 162 K)	July/August	NL Only
10	Jung Ho Kang	SS	PIT	Impossible to project numbers from Korea, but all signs indicate this guy can hit.	May/June	NL Only, Deep Mixed
11	Daniel Norris	RP, SP	TOR	Lefty with plus velocity, led minors in K/9 last year. Could burst on the scene.	June	AL Only, Deep Mixed
12	Jose Peraza	2B	ATL	Altuve clone likely not ready yet, but will get some time with majors down the stretch.	September	Dynasty and deep keeper
13	Jon Gray	SP	COL	Would be higher on this list if not for him having to pitch at Coors. True fireballer.	May/June	Dynasty only
14	Aaron Sanchez	RP, SP	TOR	Possible closer by seasons end for a team that ought to win a fair number of games.	May/June	AL Only, Deep Mixed
15	Henry Owens	SP	BOS	Sharp lefty with good mid-90s stuff. Appears ready for the show.	September	Wait for the call up
16	Maikel Franco	3B	PHI	Phillies in no rush to bring him up, but once he's ready Cody Asche will give little resistence.	September	Wait for the call up
17	Francisco Lindor	SS	CLE	He's a project, but his path to the majors seems clear. Will be better down the road.	June	Dynasty and deep keeper
18	Mark Appel	SP	HOU	Last years numbers deceiving: had good second half and excellent fall league.	July/August	Dynasty and deep keeper
19	Dilson Herrera	2B	NYM	Useful power/speed combo. Only thing standing in his way is David Murphy…	July/August	Wait for the call up
20	D.J Peterson	3B	SEA	Tons of power. Might get him to the show this year although he's blocked by Seager.	September	Dynasty and deep keeper

Here’s a list of the best players not likely to get the call until next year — but they should still be rostered in all dynasty leagues: Carlos Correa, SS, Houston; Corey Seager, SS, L.A. Dodgers; Joey Gallo, 3B, Texas; Lucas Giolito, SP, Washington; Julio Urias, SP, L.A. Dodgers and Kyle Schwarber, OF, Chicago Cubs.
