Who are five prospects for you stash on your 2017 Fantasy Baseball rosters?

As we get closer and closer to the 2017 fantasy baseball season, I’m going to give you all the tools that you need to dominate your league. Our positional rankings will be coming out in the coming weeks. Earlier in this space, I talked about prospects to target. Now I’m going to give you five prospects that you should stash on your roster.

One of the strategies I like to employ for standard leagues is using the last pick to stash a top prospect on my bench who may come up and help my team during the season. As I said in the previous rankings, prospects that come up and excel can really help you win your league.

Some of these guys may have had a little taste of the majors last season and could see an increased role in 2017, while others are close to making it and could even be on their team’s opening day roster depending on how Spring Training shakes out for them.

These rankings aren’t in order, these are five different options. You also won’t see guys like Lucas Giolito or Yoan Moncada. Instead, it’s a little deeper dive, though does include some of the best prospects in the game.

The sport has a bright future and guys like Moncada, Giolito and the players on this list, should help the sport moving down the road.

So who are five guys to possibly use as players to stash? Let’s take a look.
