Sixth Round Pick

These are the toughest rounds to pick, IMHO. The stars and obvious everday players are all gone. Now you are looking for veterans with one more year left in the tank, breakout youngster and the ever popular "sleeper." I went into the round still needed a catcher and third baseman and some more outfielders would be nice. The 3B market is dry as a bone and there are still plenty of average catchers available. I was considering taking a strong setup guy as well. In the end I went with outfielder David DeJesus of the Royals. DeJesus numbers last year (.293/9/56/69/5) were nice considering he missing 40 games. I expect more stolen bases (considering that is the only way the Royals will score this year) and runs plus a bit more dingers. May give him a 2 year contract just to have some OF slots filled for next year.
