Hey man: **** you.
I consistently have said they need to do better in the draft than they have, while consistently saying they’ve done an average job over the course of Moore’s tenure. Average isn’t good enough for KC. They need to be above-average, which they were not in too many years.
I mention the facts about draft bust rates and the difficulty of the MLb draft compared to the NFL because some of you consistently ignore those facts and try to look at the Royals’ draft performance through an NFL draft lens.
This latest garbage about the Royals never doing anything or finding players in the international market is just another example of ignoring facts.
The best young player on the Royals roster at the MLB level is an international signee. The best position player is an international signee. One of the best prospects, who was leading the minors in HR until he hurt his back, is a big dollar international signee from just three years ago. Some of the most important pitchers during the most recent run (Kelvin Herrera and Ventura) were international guys.
And they have some promising international signees on the farm, too.
Just because this is the first year you paid attention to the international market and they didn’t do anything splashy doesn’t make your narrative about the international market correct.
But if you want to just say negative, erroneous shit all the time, I’ll direct you to RoyalsReview.con. You’ll fit right in. They might even give you a job as a writer.
