Jeff Granger and Jeff Austin also in consideration at this point.
I don't know why the Royals decided to start him back at AA, when he's struggled so much with injuries and control. Even for them, that's hard to understand.

Y'all took a kid who threw 101 in High School back when throwing 100 was still impressive. Colt Griffin? He was a top 10 guy, IIRC - but wasn't a top 3.
Not sure he ever made it to AA.
I didn't realize Lacy was 3rd overall though - yeeikes. That stings. Though if it makes you feel any better, it's looking like the 2020 draft may be a pile of crap. Hassell is really the only guy who was reasonably in the top 5 pick discussion who appears like he may amount to something special. Then there's Walker, but you can't bag on anyone for not taking Walker in the top 10 - nobody had him there.
