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.

Lacy was 4th.
It helps that Austin Martin has been pretty meh, as that was the guy most were annoyed KC passed, but the Royals were also heavily connected to Pete Crow-Armstrong, who is a legit top 50 prospect. Both he and Hassell fit KC's profile well.
