Even at Maple Woods, where I went also with Pujols that team was loaded.. The guy turned into an amazing talent but to say other teams overlooked him is idiotic.. They guy did not look like he was going to be a HOF player while at those levels..


Enjoy the gem that fell in your laps..

I didn't say that the Cards knew something the rest of the league didn't; I said the Royals are extraordinarily stupid for NOT knowing something that the rest of the league didn't.

I repeat: They had a member of their organization LIVING WITH HIM. They had senior scouts watching him, they had guys within the organization who thought he was a good hitter but they were drafting for need (in the late rounds of the MLB baseball draft ?!?!?).

The fact that they didn't even take a flyer on him in the 10th is mind-boggling. Me saying that there's a difference in organizational aptitude is me stating that the Royals are the most poorly run franchise in the American league (fighting the Pirates for all of baseball). It's not saying that the Cardinals are full of sooth-sayers and talent scouting magicians.
