It's pretty well known the Royals get more sharing money than their payroll is...

Again, because Soren Petro says it's true? Can you find a legit link? Can you also find a link of the other expenditures involved with running a professional baseball team?

The owners don't open the books. Yes, I think Petro has done a pretty good job of tracking down this info. Going to have to go with the "journalists" on this one.

I'm struggling to remember the last player that was woefully overdrafted in the 1st round. It wasn't Butler...he was a 1st round pick. Maybe a bit overdrafted, but I'd say the success he's had justifies the pick. Lubanski? He was well thought of, and was considered a top 10-15 player. Yes, he was probably taken is some respect due to signability, but we got a top prospect. Maybe Stodolka? Seems as if some "experts" were questioning that pick.

All three of the players you mentioned weren't worthy of the selection, and I'm talking pre-draft. Maybe Stodolka? WTF? Butler, of course. He didn't have a position coming out.

The Royals aren't in this position b/c they were doing things the right way in the draft.

Lubanski was Baseball America's 9th rated player. Butler was arguably a signability pick, but again, his success justifies the pick IMO. My "maybe Stodolka" comment was that he was the last egregious signability pick in the 1st round.

It's also hard to be positive because the Royals are just snake bitten when it comes to the draft, things seem to never work out.

I am truly shocked that there are still KC area fans willing to fight pretty hard to defend this organization (and in doing so are largely defending David Glass). Can you imagine the excitement if we'd been actually trying to win since Mr. K died?

It's like defending Carl Peterson.

There are plenty of things to bitch about relative to the Royals and David Glass. Our 1st round picks are a ways down the list IMO. That's all. If you wanted to bitch about our history drafting beyond round 1, I'll stand next to you holding the pitchfork. If you want to discuss the lack of commitment in our development of young players, I'm with you. Signing mediocre vets for entirely too much money? I'm there. Etc., etc.

I don't think we're in much disagreement.

I don't either. It's hard to disagree about a team that's been a joke for the better part of two decades.
