It's time to look at the players from the 2006 draft that are eligible for the draft & follow process. For more detailed information about the DFE (Draft, Follow and Evaluate) process, please visit my story from five years ago:

29. David Newmann, LHP (Texas A&M)
37. Wes Munson, SS (Missouri)
40. Alexander Koronis, RHP (Miami)
