Steal of the Draft - AKA Mike Piazza Award
With the Amateur Draft coming up, I thought it might be interesting to see who the very best player was out of those who "slipped through the cracks" in the first 6 seasons and was drafted in Round 3 or later.
So here's how we can do it - Go to World Office-->Reports-->Draft History. Set Season to "All", Franchise to your own Franchise, and Round(s) to 1-5, then 6-10, then 11-15, then 16-20, then 21-25. Check to see who you think was the very best prospect and/or the very best value pick your franchise drafted in Round 3 or later. As a shortcut, you can see the Current Level of the player all the way to the right. Odds are, if a player drafted Round 3 in S1 hasn't made the ML yet, he's not going to.
Post your Franchise's best value Round 3 or higher prospect and/or your franchise's best value pick in the comments. I'll collect them all, link them in a post, and we can vote for the winner of the Mike Piazza Award.

Who Will Represent the NL in the NLCS? (Poll Results)
Who Will Represent the NL in the NLCS? (Poll Results)
Poll Instructions - Pick the two NL teams you think will meet in the NLCS. Please do not vote more than once, and feel free to leave comments below!!
The Results (19 Voters)
1 (5%) Atlanta Braves
1 (5%) Chicago Cubs
0 (0%) Cincinnati Reds
0 (0%) Colorado Rockies
0 (0%) Florida Marlins
4 (21%) Houston Astros
0 (0%) L.A. Dodgers
0 (0%) Milwaukee Brewers
0 (0%) Montreal Expos
0 (0%) N.Y. Mets
0 (0%) Philadelphia Phillies
1 (5%) Pittsburgh Pirates
1 (5%) S.D. Padres
1 (5%) S.F. Giants
13 (68%) St. Louis Cardinals
11 (57%) Washington D.C. Nationals
Total Teams Named - 33. Since there were 19 voters, if everyone followed the rules, there should have been 38 teams selected (2 per voter). Since there were only 33, I imagine some people (myself included) misread the question and selected only the team they predict to WIN the NLCS. Oops.
Based on the results, it looks like people expect the favorites to have little problem separating themselves from the rest of the pack and dominating the playoffs as well. Over half of the voters expect either the probable #1 seed Washington D.C. Nationals, the probable #2 seed St. Louis Cardinals, or both to make the NLCS. Besides those two teams, only the Houston Astros (4 votes) had more than a single vote of support.
