That’s an unrealistic tag to put on anyone.

He can be a superstar, but trout is on a different level.

I can't remember the last time the Royals had a true superstar. Maybe Beltran?

Trout is on pace to be in the top 5 all time, if not higher. The Royals should draft all of those Mike Trout types.

Brice Turang and Joe Gray are other names to watch. As a sophomore and junior, turang was viewed as a potential 1-1 pick. He had a so-so Sr season and now is a back half of the first round projection. He’s a switch hitter with a polished hit tool who will stick at SS. I get a strong Lindor vibe from him... ina. Smaller, great player who is seen as a contact and defense SS but has the capacity for much more due to instincts and intelligence.

Gray is very similar to Jordyn Adams in physical skills but has a better track record against better competition.

True, nobody thought he’d be what he is now

What time does the draft start? Hope GMDM is on his game tonight.

Logan Gilbert or Turang

Keith Law's mock draft for the Royals.

Quote:
Kansas City Royals: Jordan Groshans, 3b, Magnolia (Texas) HS

The Royals pick again at 33, 34, 40 and 58, so they're linked to ... everyone. And I am sure most of it is real. I have heard them specifically with Groshans and Turang, with Mason Denaburg, with Jake McCarthy, with Jeremy Eierman, with Scott and Adams, and that's probably about right. When you pick that often and have that much pool money, you should be linked to a lot of players. They do have the opportunity to walk out of this with three first-round talents if they play the board well.
Essentially he's saying he has no clue.

duncan_idaho 06-04-2018 05:38 PM
I like Groshans but was hoping he’d slip to their pick at 33.

I figured the draft would go faster considering there are no trades.

They've been trying to make the MLB draft more like the NFL and NBA draft for years. It will never work because no one has ever heard of these guys and many of them will never be heard from again.

But they'll roll out this dog and pony show year after year because nothing else is happening.

Because when I think of the MLB, I think of Ellie Goulding.
