Motion to not bring up the fact the Royals took Colon over Sale.. All in favor say 'aye'

That’s not just Moore. It’s easy to say,
In hindsight, he’s a dumbass who blew this pick or that pick. But most GMs have historically had a much lower success rate outside the top /3 picks. Bust rate is astronomically higher from 4+.

when Sale goes 13th overall, it’s not just moore passing on him at 4. He had major question marks, which is why 8 additional teams passed on him.

The whole point of the post was that the odds are better in general picking top 3, which KC will. And Moore’s draft record reflects the general trend.

It's shocking that the Royals are this bad, yet there's another team just as bad if not worse.

Hopefully the O's go on a 10 game winning streak.

Why does it surprise you for a small market team?

Well, at least they put a crooked number on the board.

That's true, but I can't recall anyone liking the Colon pick.

Idk about that, I've got the BB America prospect guide right here. He was like 60th on their top 100 in 2011 and they praised him as "best college bat" and "more than held his own at the plate" in his short debut

Said he'd be a mainstay at 2B, would lose value if he gained weight and went to 3rd, but unlikely due to Moose. So plenty of experts thought he'd be a Whit toe or, really, a Omar Infante

That about sums up the season right there. Make the third out at home on a pointless aggressive baserunning play with the tying run about to come to the plate.

Gaaaack!!!

I honestly don't follow the baseball draft, so I don't know much. I simply remember people on the radio, on here, etc. hating the pick and wishing the Royals had somehow drafted Machado. Other than that, I think there was at least one person here beating the Sale drum, but those people are far more plugged-in than me.

That was ****ing stupid.

I'm sorry I ever doubted Whit Merrifield. What a ****ing stud. Every one always told him he was a AAAA. He told them to eat shit.

+.800 OPS now

JFC we go 3-7 they go 2-8. How can they be that ****ing bad?

That is some gawdawful baseball. In the modern era, the 2018 combo of BAL and KC will go down as one of the worst. Pathetic.
