2012
The best thing going for Sellers has to be his nickname. Derived from a highly-tattooed body, Sellers has been tagged "Cellblock." Beyond that, there's probably not a whole lot to see here. Sellers did bat .304/.400/.537 in 270 at-bats for Triple-A Albuquerque last year, but when exposed to big league pitching, Sellers dipped to .203/.283/.301 in 123 at-bats, including a .150 average in September. By signing the likes of Adam Kennedy this winter, the Dodgers pretty much let us know what they think of Sellers.
2005
Oakland selected Sellers in the sixth round of the 2005 draft, out of high school in Huntington Beach, California.
