I’m in a pretty competitive fantasy baseball league and I’m looking for good, cheap advice. The league allows carryover players. Is there any player in the recent MLB draft who is expected to make an impact in the majors in the next year or two? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The next year or two? Maybe Mark Appel in late 2014. The rest…I doubt we see any of them until 2015.
