    Righthander Tyler Chambliss led the Atlantic Coast Conference in wins with an 11-4, 2.87 showing a year after moving from the bullpen to the Seminoles rotation. His track record and durability--he led the league in saves with 15 and ranked third with a 2.06 ERA as a sophomore in 2005--should enhance his stock enough for him to be taken in the top eight rounds. Chambliss repeats his delivery well, has plenty of poise on the mound and has an above-average breaking ball. His fastball velocity is fringe-average, as is his control. Luke Tucker took over from Chambliss as FSU's closer this season and could be taken ahead of his better-known predecessor.
