We've had 4 straight top 10 picks and what we have to show for that is...Bobby Witt Jr struggling pretty hard..Asa Lacy looking like a total bum, Frank Mozzicato breaking his face on his teammate and Gavin Cross shitting his pants.

The Reds also traded higher value assets than anything the Royals currently have to trade.
Tyler Mahle (Encarnacion-Strand)
Castillo (Noelvi Marte)
Sonny Gray (Chase Petty)
If you're moving Perez and send some salary cover along with him, you mgith be able to rival the Mahle or Gray returns.
The bright side in all of this is that, not all that long ago, the Reds were pretty hopeless. Now look at them!
Good decisions can multiple and lead to results in due time. Just have to consistently make them.
