33. Greg Holland
Greg Holland rose up the ranks in the Kansas City Royals organization where he was designed to be a reliever from the get-go. With his reliable four-seam fastball, Holland would never start a game for KC but would work his way from middle relief to the full-time closer’s role when Jonathan Broxton was traded to Cincinnati on July 31, 2012. It proved to be a wise trade for the Royals.
