Wow.
I was disappointed to land at 7. But I wasn't "Expected to be at #1 overall and landed at #6" disappointed... Damn - y'all got rat****ed on that one.

I'll say this, though - I'm glad Oakland got hosed a little.
Cleveland is a deserving #1 (and really, KC would've been). Neither team openly tried to suck. Cleveland just never could get its offense straight and its pitching kept breaking down. Kansas City just didn't have the talent but I don't feel like it was for lack of trying. Oakland openly tanked. They went full Rachel Phelps. **** those guys.

Likely.
Too far out of range for a ‘can’t miss’ prospect, although I’m not sure there are actually any of those in this draft. We seem to do pretty well when we draft in the Top 3. Not so much after that. Still can’t believe neither the A’s or the Royals landed in the Top 3. You realize what the odds were for that NOT to happen? Just crazy bad ****ing luck. Unreal. ![]() |

The top of the draft isn't as elite and I don't think you have a really steep fall-off after 5 either. It's a fairly linear draft; the picks don't fall off greatly at any point that I can see. There should be good talent at 6.

The problem, generally, is the Royals scouting can’t identify it. They have a hard time separating the wheat from the chaff. But at least I don’t have to worry about them missing on a generational prospect this year, so there’s that . . . . . |

I believe I saw something about the Royals not being eligible for the lottery picks next year since they picked in the lottery the past 2 years, is that correct?

We get ‘rewarded’ from the lottery with the #8 and #6 pick two years in a row and then have to sit the next lottery out? **** that. What a crock of shit baseball has become. On a mission to take away nearly every advantage small market teams could once exploit. Wanna make sure we keep things equal for the Dodgers, Mets, Yankees, etc. |
