Joseph Sanders is officially a professional baseball player. Sanders, a fifth-round pick in this month's MLB draft, agreed to terms with the Colorado Rockies, the team announced recently.

No dollar figure was given. From the sounds of it, all that is pending is a physical.

Sanders and fourth-round pick Kent Matthes of Alabama will both be assigned to the Rockies' short-season affiliate, the Tri-City Dust Devils, in Pasco, Wash.

Sanders batted .320 with 19 home runs, 14 doubles and 55 RBIs in 44 games at Auburn last season.
