    Florida State's best 2003 draft prospect was RHP Mark LaMacchia-until he had Tommy John surgery in mid-May. He was throwing three quality pitches, including a 91-92 mph sinker. Now that honor falls to Trent Peterson, one of four Seminoles southpaws who should get picked. Peterson, who ended Kyle Sleeth's NCAA record-tying 26-game winning streak, throws in the mid-80s and relies on his changeup and command.
