Mozzicato keeps sinking in the ranking. When they picked him, he wasn't even on any other team's radar for at least the first 2 rounds, so I remember the announcers were surprised by the pick cause Kumar Rocker was on the board and he was next to be predicted to be picked & the Mets snatched him up the very next pick, so it was a helluva reach to begin with. Moving to the bullpen might be the next move for him, cause his SP stats are atrocious. I think it was last yr, he had more walks than strikeouts.  I remember Dan Reichert another KC #1, had a similar season in which he had more walks than SO.  But. Moz.. was in the minors, Reichert was in the majors.  I'm not sure if Mozz is back with Omaha, but I hope he pulls it together cause he does have nasty stuff.
