Who debuts this season that should be targeted in drafts? Kris Bryant is obviously a hot topic, but who else?

J. Pederson for LA should be the starting CF.

Yasmay Thomas,Mark Appel,Carlos Rodon Do you believe those players will get significant playing time for fantasy purposes? I figured all three were going to be in the minors all year, but I haven't studied yet either.

Some guys that have peaked my interest ....
Addison Russell. I'm not huge on Baez. If they move him or Bryant (Baez to 3B) to LF, Russell has the ability to make a roto splash. He should hit for average and has 20/20 upside.
Archie Bradley. Struggled last season and the star has faded a bit. Arizona's pitching staff is less than stellar. He could get the call with an injury or someone like Webster falling on his face.
Andrew Heaney. If Richards isn't ready to at the start of the season Heaney probably has a spot in the rotation. His fantasy upside isn't crazy high like Bradley's is, but he's posted strong ratios in the minors and could be an asset to the back of a fantasy rotation.
Henry Owens - I don't know a ton about him really, but Boston's rotation is a hot mess, IMO. With an injury or a hot spring he could force his way into the rotation quickly. He's on my radar of guys that I want to see this spring.
D.J. Peterson - We could be the inevitable LoMo injury away from seeing Peterson. He should start in AA and could be up for good by summer.

I think Tomas easily starts the season with the Diamondbacks could be a Jose Abreu lite with 3B eligibility. Also, I believe Yoan Lopez (also signed by the D'Backs) could make his presence felt this season. Others I could see making an impact...
F. Lindor - May start season as Indians SS K. Bryant - Nothing left to prove, arb clock a consideration C. Rondon - Probably already a #3 starter at MLB level H. Owens - Ready last year, would have been called up if Red Sox contended J. Gray - See Rondon J. Kang - Nice contract in nice ballpark if he can start N. Burdi - College closer could close in majors

Does anyone really expect Lindor to be an impact fantasy contributor? 0.260 hitter with no power and 15-20 SB potential? That's kind of my take anyway.

He's a top 5 if not 10 prospect...

All of the lovable losers. Baez at 2B, Russell at SS, Bryant at 3B and Soler in the OF. Soler and Bryant could be ridiculous.
Buxton and Sano probably get called up too late. Meyer might be an early season callup and he could be good. Burdi better be up soon but he won't make an impact with Perkins there (unlikely to be traded).
Lindor could be a .285, 5+ HR, 20+ SB guy. Nothing sexy but it is SS.
Rodon plays for the Sox and they are playing to win this year so he will be up soon if not opening day.

Might be a nice thread to sticky if you want to consolidate the information in the original post element

Prospects I like
1. Dalton Pompey - Had a nice cup of coffee in 2014, a .280 guy with 40SBs possible with nice counting stats. 2. Taijaun Walker - Looks like he'll have a rotation spot in Seattle. Dominant stuff if he can control it. 3. Aaron Sanchez- Going to close most likely. 2.5 K/BB rate and get GBs.

My eye is on JO Berrios to make a leap by mid season for Min. Could be a nice 2nd half stat getter.

Alex Meyer is the Twins prospect to wait for this year and will be the first one called up. Another prospect will likely get the first shot in the rotation to start season. Hughes Santana Nolasco Gibson May with Milone and Meyer in AAA In addition Berrios is 20 with only 40 IP in AA. He's just too far down the depth chart to be more than a September callup imo.

I see Rodon being an SP commit for the ChiSox and thus in AAA to start season. When they see that Noesci really is bad...or an injury happens he will that first call. I would say May for him.
And I used the word commit because there was talk of putting him in the pen as a call up last season...and maybe out of ST.
