I'll continue tomorrow by discussing National League Third Basemen with double-digit Positive Draft Value.

Today's Fantasy Rx: Based on each player's keeper potential heading into his sophomore season in the majors, select rookie third basemen in the following order in minor league drafts (I've included the preferred round price for Ultra leagues): Mark Teahen($10), John Hattig($2). The wealth of talent already in the American League at third base leaves few opportunities for any but the best prospects, making Teahen the only safe selection of the players discussed above.
