9. Kansas City Royals Gavin Cross, RF, Virginia Tech This is where the next juncture of the draft really starts and there have been rumors galore on what the Royals could do here. They could take the first pitcher, it could be a prep pitcher, it could be Cade Horton, it could be the best available college hitter, it could be Justin Crawford on a deal, etc. I think this is also the area where the teams themselves still don't know who they will take and are actively exploring options. The Royals' brass (all the way to the top) was in Omaha to see Horton at the College World Series, and I think he gets a long look from teams starting here and he probably goes by pick 15 because there's so much interest. In a bad college pitching year, catching fire down the stretch in the biggest games, while also having a high school track record to match, seems to be the most marketable of the options. I'm looking at picks 9 and 10 together as both K.C. and Colorado are more traditional in style, and I think one of them would take Cross and the other Horton in this scenario. Later, the Royals are tied mostly to upside, making me think a cut option is also being explored here, along with Gavin Turley and a number of prep arms like Jacob Miller. 8. Twins - Brook Lee 9. Royals - Gavin Cross 10. Rockies - Cade Horton 11. Mets - Justin Crawford 12. Tigers - Jace Jung |

Kansas City Royals First 2022 MLB draft pick: No. 9 overall Where their farm system ranks: No. 25 ($129 million) Biggest system strengths: Pitching depth Biggest system needs: Shortstop How they typically draft: K.C. is right there with San Diego as the boldest drafting teams, both for taking on risk with high-upside types and prep pitchers early in the draft and also in aggressively moving money around at high picks. Best fits: The Royals are at the top of the second tier of talent with their pick at ninth overall, with prep CF Justin Crawford coming up as a hot name that fits their type. At pick 49, I could see them pairing Crawford with a safer college type like Georgia RHP Jonathan Cannon, Florida LHP Hunter Barco or Florida State LHP Parker Messick. Past five first-round picks: LHP Frank Mozzicato (2021); LHP Asa Lacy (2020); SS Bobby Witt Jr. (2019); RHP Brady Singer (2018); RHP Jackson Kowar (2018) |

Remember how over the last few weeks, there have been various stories come out about how dark the Royals clubhouse or how quiet it is or whatever word people want to use to describe it on that day? I’m going to go ahead and guess that the fact that there are 10 players who chose not to go to battle with their team for four days was weighing pretty heavily on that. I’ve previously blamed Mike Matheny because it’s a manager’s job to run a clubhouse.
What evidence does he have that (1) players knew there were unvaxxed long ago and (2) that they cared |

Literally overnight the Cardinals went from among the worst teams in baseball at defense and baserunning to among the best. Like, bottom 3 to top 3 merely by firing their manager. It was that stark. I'm not sure why anyone continues to argue otherwise.

Honestly, though, I don't know that I can see Toronto being held to less than 3 runs again in this series. The problem with Massey is you can't really sit Lopez right at the moment for a guy whose never played at the big league level. He's just here as insurance for Lopez. So unless he can play a competent right field . . . . . . . |

If we didn’t know the players who didn’t vax, and had to guess who they were….how many of you would’ve immediately thought it was Wacko Zacko?
