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.

Because he did not project into being a HOF type player..
