Draft Day Steals #2

Here come some more guys that I believe are steals for where they have been going in mock drafts so far. Many people say that the late rounds are just for filling spots in your roster. I never waste a pick in my drafts. With every pick in the late rounds I'm trying to find guys that have slipped and their value is greater than what round they are taken in. I'm also looking for guys that are not on other people's radars that can help my team or be used as trade bait. With that being said, he are a few guys that you can get late in the draft that can help your club. Last time I broke them down by position, this time I'm just going to throw them out there.

Kurt Suzuki-C-OAK- I liked what I saw out of this guy late last season. He ended up with a .248 BA 7 HR and 39 RBI in only 213 AB last year. I'm not sure if he'll ever hit for average but not many catchers do. In leagues with only one catcher he has gone undrafted. He can get you numbers similar to the average catcher with the last pick of the draft. '08 Prediction: .265 BA 14 HR 70 RBI.

Kevin Kouzmanoff-3B-SD- He finished last season they way he was supposed to have played all season. This year in a deep crop of 3B he is a nice little sleeper to keep in mind. He could be a starter, solid backup or CI on any team. He could also be used in a trade if someone in your league has a starter go down. '08 Prediction: .290 BA 24 HR 90 RBI.

Lastings Milledge-OF-WAS- If you read my article on him then you know I think highly of him. He won't produce with the top level OFs but he can be a good no. 4 OF on your team or a solid Utility man. Look for him in rounds 19 and on. The Nats are counting on him to put up some good numbers and I think he can. '08 Prediction: .280 BA 17 HR 80 RBI 25 SB.

Tony Pena-RP-ARI- He's most likely to get the closer job now that Jose Valverde is with Houston. Pena ranked as one of the top setup men in baseball last year and should continue to put up those type of numbers as the closer. Best part is you can get him late. He has been going from anywhere between the 16-20 rounds. '08 Prediction: 2.55 ERA 35 S 1.15 WHIP.

Mark Buehrle-SP-CHW- The Sox just could not get a win for this guy last year. He hasn't gotten many Ks in the last couple of years but I think he'll produce a little better this year. He's always had a good WHIP. The White Sox are much improved and they will rely on him for a good number of wins. Best part about Buehrle is you can get the former ace in the last couple of rounds. '08 Prediction: 15 W 3.70 ERA 130 K 1.24 WHIP.

Keep checking back in the coming days for more late rounds steals.
