Digging Deeper For The Keeper

Digging Deeper for The Keeper

For those of you who play in Dynasty/Keeper Leagues, here is a list of rookies and or minor leaguers who might be worth a bid.
This list mainly applies to deep leagues, but these players should come cheap, and can help lead to a championship down the road.
The qualifications applied here are: any player currently on a team’s 40 man roster and eligible for the Rookie of the Year Award.

Colby Rasmus, OF, St. Louis
The reason the Cardinals traded Jim Edmonds in the off-season. The only thing Rasmus hasn’t shown in the minors is a high batting average, but all of the other tools are there. Problem is the Cardinals have a bunch of outfielders in camp and Rick Ankiel is the leading option for centerfield as of now.

Cameron Maybin, OF, Florida
Was the centerpiece in the trade of Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to Detroit. Probably still a year away from the majors, but with the dearth of talent in Florida they may feel the need to rush him to the majors.

Evan Longoria, 3B, Tampa Bay
Has all the tools to be a star in the majors. Can hit for power and average. Could win the starting job this season for the Rays. Long term prognosis is outstanding. Definitely worth a flyer, even in non dynasty leagues.
