I used to release my worst lefties and try to find comparable righties to keep the ratio about 3:1. But that is a dangerous game I don't play anymore.

Favuz Joined: 02/26/2014 Posts: 637 Oxnard Sunsets IV.3	I've got the opposite problem, my minor league pitchers are all righties, last lefty i drafted was in 2018. Now my LOOGY is 30 and i'll need to find a replacement in next 2-3 seasons (find a decent lefty reliever is not so tough as a starter anyway). For hitters is another thing, i have too many lefties (but in this case i think it's better ).

In theory you probably want more position players, but it depends on the ages of your major league position players and pitchers, how likely each prospect is to do well (there are no "can't miss" guys, but there are some that are far more likely to succeed than others), and what your team's relative strengths and weaknesses are. I know that isn't a hard answer, but I don't think there is a single "correct" ratio.
