Gotta thank Draftsite for alerting me to Aleman as they have him mocked to the Giants in Round 2 at #49 overall.  He's not listed in Fangraphs top 200+ or MLB's top 200, but he's a legit prospect who I would not be shocked to see off the board by #49.  If he's there, I might like him more than any other name I've seen ranked in that vicinity.  Tall RHP with long limbs and high hips who has filled out his frame nicely.  If you believe scouting reports, his velocity has also increased from the low 90's in HS now up to 96 MPH.  Looking at his frame and delivery, I've got to think there's more velocity in there and wouldn't be surprised if the Giants development team has been consulted on what they think he could turn into.  I would be pleased to see his name opposite the Giants at #49 or at any point later in the draft.
