Could Mike Zunino Fall To Pirates?

Jim Callis was on Trib Live Radio just now, and he said (paraphrasing, of course) that there would likely be someone available at No. 8 who the Pirates didn't anticipate being there, and that that player might be Florida catcher Mike Zunino. (He also mentioned Albert Almora, and said that he doesn't see the Pirates taking a pitcher.) Zunino isn't a perfect prospect, but his bat currently profiles better than Deven Marrero's does. Callis was asked about the fact that the Pirates already have Tony Sanchez, but I doubt the Pirates would shy away from Zunino simply because they already have another catching prospect, and I bet that would probably be true even if Sanchez hadn't been so disappointing.
