11th Round, 211th Overall: CF Phil Weeks
School: CC Los Angeles Coyotes
1963: .270/.324/.428, 340 PA, 9 2B, 2 3B, 12 HR, 58 RBI, 39 SB
Career: .277/.327/.413, 979 PA, 27 2B, 6 3B, 28 HR, 160 RBI, 112 SB

We get two extra live picks this year! Which means two more useful prospects!

Or at least that's the hope!

21 in September, I'm a fan of the three-year outfielder, as Phil Weeks is a useful defender with elite speed and a nice bat. Breaking out with 12 homers as a junior, Weeks had a pretty consistent college career, hitting .277 with 28 homers, 160 RBIs, and 112 steals. A rangy defender, despite being a 4/4/3 Dixie only has him as a 2 in center, but I care more about that range rating then the positional one. Plus, with a 4/4/3 OSA has him as a 3, so he's at least close to average in center. A 4th outfield or platoon type, OSA thinks he could be a useful supplemental piece, and I think his above average contact tool could allow him to fill a lineup spot. When he puts the ball in play, good things happen, and he has a good feel for the zone. With a quick bat, he can catch up to most fastballs, so once he masters breaking pitches, he has a chance to be a useful roster piece who can get some hits and take a few away.

12th Round, 231st Overall: RHP Tom McDaniel
School: Rabouin Falcons
1963: 2-0, 9 SV, 30.2 IP, 0.59 ERA, 0.72 WHIP, 6 BB, 52 K
Career: 2-0, 9 SV, 30.2 IP, 0.59 ERA, 0.72 WHIP, 6 BB, 52 K

A fascinating pitcher, Tom McDaniel is a bit of an unusual pick, as he's one of the rare reliever prospects that have started to show up. A guy Dixie has wanted for a while, I decided to make the "Fearless" stopper what proved to be the last live pick. A one year prep arm, the 17-year-old started just 2 of his 13 appearances, picking up 9 saves with a 0.59 ERA, 0.72 WHIP, and 52-to-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio. A sinker/slider pitcher, he's a one inning guy, but the stuff is good and he's tough to elevate. A groundballer, his sinker sits in the 88-90 range, and both it and his slider are both quality offerings. With the tools to contribute in a FABL pen, the 6'2'' righty has room to fill out, and he seemed worth the lottery ticket this late. If he had better stamina, I'd have grabbed him as early as the 6th or 7th, but there's a reason he's listed as a stopper, and he's got the makeup to succeed in high leverage opportunities.
