Best Pick- Ryan Westmorland- Knapp snagged Westmorland with the second pick in the fifth round and proceeded to trade him to Uustal in a midseason Fuentes trade. He may end up regretting that trade in the future if Westmorland is able to live up to the lofty expectations set by the Red Sox, BA and fantasy owners. Some people believe he has the ability to turn into a Grady Sizemore potential if he can overcome the vast amount of injuries he’s had in his short career. While he was limited last season he still put up good numbers and showed a good all around game. The more recent heath problem (brain cancer), could sideline Westmorland for an indefinite period of time. It is unknown (and probably hard to predict) when or if he’ll return to baseball sometime this season.

Worst Pick- Scott Lewis- Since the worst drafter in league history Jeff "toothpaste white" Lester didn't have a pick in this round I had to go with Scott Lewis. It was clear when Lewis was drafted that he wasn’t a high upside pitcher and would never join Johan and CC in the Pigeons rotation. He preceded to get injured and now has been taken off the Cleveland Indians 40 man roster. He’ll likely surface in the MLB again as a reliever and probably rot in Sully’s minor league system until his eligibility runs out.

Still Could Make it- A majority of the fifth round flyers could make the MLB. High upside guys like Destin Hood, Adys Portillo and Jeffrey Marte are so young that they will likely not see that majors for three or four years at best. Other players such as Jason Castro and Ike Davis are likely to see the majors this season and may not make a big enough impact to crack fantasy lineups. We should know much more about this group and the rest of the 2009 draft picks after this upcoming season.

% in MLB- 0 out of 12= the big donut.
