    Daeges won the Northwoods League triple crown last summer with .366-13-48 totals, and after a similar spring he could go as high as the fifth round to a team that appreciates strike-zone judgment (49 walks, 22 whiffs) and/or saving money on a quality senior sign. Daeges produces for power and average from the left side of the plate, and he scored points by volunteering to play third base when Creighton had a hole there. Daeges doesn't have the range for the hot corner and will be an outfielder as a pro, and his arm has bounced back nicely from Tommy John surgery in the fall of 2004.
