Because no organization clings more stubbornly to the "scout's view" of a player than the Royals. It's painfully obvious. Look at the track record.
Hochevar and Davies are the best examples, but they are far from the only ones. Jeff Francoeur last season is another great example.
Luke Hochevar passes the eye test with flying colors. If you watch him throw, you can see what SHOULD be there.
But that's a good thing... it's the Royals' only hope of moving him, that someone buys into the eye test at this point.
