He played 2 years after that, the Royals likely didn't see him as a real prospect, he wasn't drafted by Moore either. If you go back and realize they were playing dudes like Rick Ankiel, that's all you need to know, he was 25 and the Royals didn't like him.
In reality his story isn't all that different than Starlings other than Starling was drafted by them so he probably still gets a shot.
