I hate to break this to you, but your failure rate isn't just related to the cream of your crop.
Look, the Royals are ****ing terrible at drafting and developing players.
There are several potential reasons why this could be:
1) Systemic flaws in your minor league development system (which you all seemed to agree with a month ago when you fired those buffoons teaching your ML hitters, BTW)
2) Poor scouting
3) Bad luck
Almost all seem to be willing to pass it off as 3). Do you think that teams like the Rays, A's, Pirates, and Cardinals are just luckier than you? The only black cloud I see hanging over Kauffman is one of incompetence, not misfortune.
