I remember everyone worried Moose was not going to be signed before the midnight deadline, and when he got his 4M everyone was so exicted.


7 years later, Wish now that he'd have never signed the deal.

Draft Colt Griffin AGAIN. I'm still waiting on him to become the next Nolan Ryan....

Chiefsplanet meltdown around 7:30PM??



Or Not a sh*t was given?

What the Royals could really use is a nice college pitcher that could be here in a year or two. At that point, they could at least try to extract some value out of the young hitters on the roster before they leave/decline.

Otherwise, they're just drafting for the next rebuild and they're already really thin in the high minors.

That said, this draft really only has a couple of college pitchers that look like they're worth taking that high and I figure they're both going to be gone by the Royals pick. So if I'm KC, I look for a HS outfielder here.

The draft starts at 6PM central, BTW.

Good Point.......Dayton might go for best available "most ready" player available since he knows he will be gone soon.

Heard its gonna be Phil Bickford.

Other teams believe that the Royals have reached a deal to take right-handed high schooler Phil Bickford with the eighth overall pick, Peter Gammons reports (Twitter link). Bickford, who is committed to Cal State Fullerton, hasn't been evaluated as No. 8 pick material -- Baseball America ranks Bickford as the 20th best prospect in the draft,MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo has him at No. 26 and ESPN's Keith Law (Insider subscription required) has him all the way down at No. 55

Bickford doesnt even have a breaking ball.

But I thought the owner gave Dayton all the money he needed to develop players?

Will the Royals take Leon Sandcastle with their first pick?

Let him go to college and then take the draft pick for next year? Saves money in the pool for later rounds this year?

Ask and ye shall receive, George.

Do they televise all 158 rounds?

He'd be better than any of the losers currently on the roster.
