While his K rate is concerning, the rest of this post is just ignorant. They own this kid for the first six years of his MLB career. Once again, this isn't football where you can't take the time to develop a player. You have several years til you even have to include him on the forty man, and then you have three years of options to send him to the minors. He has time to develop.

re: "why not sign Manea at #8?" If you fail to sign a player, you lose that money from your pool. Manea is risky because aside from injury concerns, he's also a Junior who some think might pull an Appel and go back to school. Sign Dozier for ~$1MM, see if Manea will sign for 2.5 or so and have almost another million extra money to play with in later picks. If he doesn't sign, we only lose about 1.5 from our pool instead of 3.1.

By "his peers" you mean "players who are, on average, two years older than him" ?

SF just took a projected 3rd-rounder

Sean Manaea is now BPA and still falling. It almost has to be him for this to make any sense.

He's also a junior and hasn't ruled out going back to school. He's a huge risk in the high first round.

My Bears beat Manaea in the regular season. I think it was 3-0 victory. I hope the Royals can draft Petree from Missouri State. He is a stud as well.

I'm pissed. Royals should have taken a sure thing, like Hosmer.
