7. Jeremy Bleich, LHP
8. Alfredo Aceves, RHP
9. Zach McAllister, RHP
10. Phil Coke, LHP
11. Mark Melancon, RHP
I disagree with the bottom portion of the list as I would have had Melancon higher, although I do agree with Goldstein’s top bracket. What do you think?
Don’t bet against Zach McAllister. He has the perfect mental makeup, comes from a baseball family, throws strikes, gets ground balls, and best of all is physically a bit of a late bloomer who is growing into the perfect pitcher body. Very strong lower body like Seaver or Billingsley. He’s also a great competitor.
