I don't know what "still up" means in your league.  In Yahoo they have an NA (not available) next to their name when the are not on a major league club.  BUT this time of year their NA is pretty bogus.

Example:  Yasmiel Puig is still a possibility of making the starting line-up as of today and happily does NOT have an NA by his name, cool.  But Jackie Bradley hasn't been decided on as yet either but unlike Puig he has the NA by his name.  And Jedd Gyorko has already made the opening day roster and Yahoo still has a NA by his name.  

So if you have to use some major platform for your league format, things are a bit crazy.  If you make your own rules, you will be open to debates no doubt.  So good luck with all that.

What prospects do you forsee coming up and making a change, who will be the Trout and Harper of 2013. Is it finally time for Taveras to get his big break or will there be someone else that will claim the throne as 2013s biggest prospect.

Jackie Bradley Jr and Nolan Arenado may be the first 2 to get cracks at the top 2013 rookie.  No one will ever have another rookie year like Trout though.  That is borderline once in a life time type stuff.

Gyroko (SD) and Hicks (MN) are prospects also that may make an impact this year.

Think the success that Trout and Harper had last year is going to raise the bar to an extent that just coming and contributing isn't going to be good enough anymore

There may never be anyone who has ANY year like the one Trout had, let alone the fact that it was as a rookie.

It looks like you can now add Jose Fernandez to the list, although I will be surprised if he wins more than 6 games given that offense and his innings limit.  Prediction: 6W, 140 IP, 120K, 3.80 ERA, 1.28 WHIP.

Who would you rather own in a redraft if they got called up the same day, Myers or Taveras?

Taveras, no doubt.

Myers' K rate is something to watch, and I think it will continue for much of his career.  The power numbers will be there as soon as he's called up, but I think as a rookie he's going to be a huge BA drain.

Taveras just hits....and hits....and hits.  The power numbers won't be the same as Myers, but he won't kill your team at the same time, while providing a worthwhile return.

OF Wil Myers
OF Oscar Taveras
SS Billy Hamilton
SP Gerrit Cole
C Mike Zunino
3B Nolan Arenado
SP Trevor Bauer
OF Christian Yelich (who knows)

Waiver priorities mean alot more this year than usual. It's not 2012 where there was superstar rookies Harper, Trout, Cespedes, Darvish, etc....but these guys aren't too shabby either. I'm hoping to get atleast 1 from this list.

What, no Didi Gregorius?  Are you implying that Didi isn't every bit as good as Bauer?????

For this season, Myers. I also feel a lot more confident he will be up soon. It's pretty much a given he's just being kept down for about 3 weeks for service time reasons. Taveras is far less certain. I also think Myers will provide a more immediate fantasy impact. Long-term, I'd easily rather have Taveras. But right now I'd take Myers in redrafts.

It's tough to get good value out of any Rays outfielder. Even with daily lineups, you're never quite sure who Maddon is going to play on a particular day. It seems clear that if Taveras comes up, he's in all the time. That would be a lot tougher to say with Myers.
