PrintDo any of you "DEEP sleeper" diggers have any thoughts on guys taken a little later (lets just say 4th round or later) that might be good guys to keep an eye on or that have good tools or had a good pro debut? I think someone on this site last year, listed all of the guys that signed for overslot and you could find a few sleepers using that method too (if you trust the major league clubs). I cant find a place that has the signing bonuses from the draft.
Anyone have any thoughts? Guys you like that might be considered a sleeper?

Pirates had a bunch of guys...
Jeff Inman who was a potential first round pick but got injured and lost velocity. He ended up signing over slot and came back to where he was in college at the end of the year in short season ball. Also, Brock Holt, Nate Baker, Zach VonRosenberg, Aaron Baker, Trent Stevenson, Colton Cain, and Joseph Schoenfield were all drafted after the fourth round and either had good pro deuts or signed over slot.
Astros
1. Dallas Keuchel, LHP – 7th round
2. Julio (J.D.) Martinez, OF – 20th round
3. Enrique Hernandez, 2B/SS – 6th round
4. Erik Castro 3B – 10th round

Ryan Ortiz
Shawn Spencer: "I’m receiving a transmission from your husband. Really more of a voicemail, if I'm being honest. A status update. Perhaps a twitter."
Burton Guster: "I believe it’s called a tweet."
Shawn Spencer: "There’s no way I’m saying that."
Giants
Matt Graham and Jason Stoffel are supposed to be potential steals. Also, Ryan Cavan (16th), Jeremy Toole (10th), Chris Gloor (17th), and Drew Biery (22nd) all did pretty well in their debuts.
The very bad man traded my son...So now I'd like you all to meet my new son, Ryan "Aaron" Garko...Dammit it's just not the same!
Alot of people seem to like the Rays 9th round pick
Kevin James.fastball up to 92 and good curve.He also shares the name with the guy from king of queens
the question master
A few
Chris Dwyer, SP, Kansas City (4th)
Ryan Wheeler, 1B, Arizona (5th)
Daniel Fields, SS, Detroit (6th)
Ian Krol, SP, Oakland (7th)
Madison Younginer, SP, Boston (7th)
Braves
Riaan “RSF” Spanjer-Furstenburg
14th round pick. He finished the season with a .359/.411/.543 line in Appy league. While he was old for the league, if he tap into his true power he could be a VERY interesting prospect. He plays 1B, but he could move to 3B.
