Also, this tonight from Keith Law:

Gerrit Cole, Ladies and Gentlemen

Sweet. He could be our new Colt (or whoever the HS douche out of TX was that sucked ass). ;)

This. Nobody is that stupid.

Crazy game. Starling went ape shit, and BV still won.

It was an AMAZING game. A few shots came from it that I really liked. These first two are funny. They happened as an INT happened to basically seal the game. This kid went nuts and climbed this fence and jumped over it. I got him in mid air. Haha.

So what happens if he decides to go to college? He can't enter the draft for 3 years? Would this kill his stock even if he rips shit up at Nebraska?

haha, i think my little bro played football with this dude in like 3rd grade

A buddy of mine that I played football with in college was one of his football and baseball coaches at Gardner. I talked to him a few weeks ago and he thinks there is no chance he goes to Nebraska. He also thought he has a lot more potential as a baseball player than a football player. I never saw the guy play so I have no idea. I also don't know if money is a big deal for him but he can make a LOT more money and have a longer career in baseball. I can't imagine being in that situation at that age........damn that would be sweet.

I'm not all that confident with the Royals decision makers. Considering they passed on Tim Lincecum, Troy Tulowitski and Buster Posey in recent years. :cuss::banghead:

I watched a few of his games and he's a heck of an athlete and runs fast but his throwing mechanics need A LOT of work.

This could also make sense why they are recruiting 2 Qb's in next class despite such a small amount of schollies.

Yeah, they only have the #1 farm system in modern history. They clearly don't know what they are doing.

But theY missed some prospect a bunch of other teams missed too. They are awful and cheap and suck forever / cp royals fan

A few things to consider before you make this comparison...

The current group of decision-makers had NOTHING to do with the draft the year Tulowitzki was taken. Dayton Moore was still in Atlanta. J.J. Piccolo and Mike Arbuckle were elsewhere, too.

The Tulowitzki draft, the Royals took the guy (Alex Gordon) that EVERYONE thought was the consensus No. 2 player. They would have roundly criticized for being "cheap" had they gone any other route.

The Lincecum draft, they were one of nine teams that passed on Lincecum. And the draft still was being run by the pre-Dayton Moore group. Dayton Moore had been named the GM but was not involved in the Royals draft because he had run the Braves' draft prep.

And the year they passed on Buster Posey, they draft Eric Freaking Hosmer instead. I think I can live with that.

As for Bubba Starling... he's going to look great in the Royals system.

It's a matter of upside and career potential for him. His skills project nicely as an outstanding spread-option QB at Nebraska, but his NFL potential would be limited to WR.

As a baseball player, however, his upside is Matt Kemp/Mike Trout. A strong defensive CF with 30/30 potential.

If he chooses football, he still can play baseball later, but it might dampen his upside view a little (especially playing in the craptastic Big 10 baseball conference).
