I mentioned previously, here, that I joined an AL-Only keeper league last week, and I have kept busy, as I am dealing most of my retainable players for prospects and minor league draft picks, as my intention when taking over the team was to rebuild.
Here are a few other trades I have made in the last few days:
Trade #2
Traded an $11 S1 Matt Capps and $23 S0 Howie Kendrick for Miguel Sano and the 4th pick in the minor league draft
Trade #3
Traded $10 S0 Austin Jackson for Nick Castellanos
Now Sano and Castellanos aren't close to the big leagues, but are Top 100 prospects who could help my team in 2-3 years. I am willing to wait, as I think both will either provide solid power numbers when they eventually make the big leagues or will be valuable trade chips should I be in the money in the next year or two.
So, how did I do in these two deals? Do you like one over the other?

I loved
Trade #2 for you. Sano is a top 20 AL prospect with huge upside, and the #4 is a nice way to add depth to a completely depleted farm system. Ajax to me is a guy that has some warts(avg., power), but at $10 he’s a solid keeper in an AL only league because if his capability to steal 20 bags

I like trade 2 as well
Sano could be a monster for you. Not sure exactly how the S0 and S! work but he’s exactly the sort of player you need to be targetting. The other trade is OK I suppose, but it depends how long you could keep Jackson, and at what price.
