SALT LAKE _ Once again, nobody from the Sea Monkey organization was deemed good enough to be drafted by the competition. But the Sea Monkeys signed two infielders that have a chance to contribute in Season 10:
Herman Holmes was drafted with the sixth pick in the first round from the Chicago Humidors. Holmes, 23, is a left-handed-hitting shortstop who is more likely to see action in center field and second base for the Sea Monkeys. He has decent pop and is particularly deadly against right-handed pitching.
Josias Picasso, 25, is a third baseman drafted with the fifth pick in the second round from a conference rival, the Honolulu Dashboard Hula Dolls. Picasso had a .315 career batting average in the minors, but appears destined to be a utility player on the big league level. He'll likely struggle to stick with the big club this year, but we'll give him a long look in spring training.
