Yeah, I'd stay a million miles away from pitching. Zero of their high picks at pitcher have amounted to anything in a while. Load up on bats and use trades to add pitchers from systems that actually know how to develop them.

The Royals need star talent/potential, regardless of position. There are a few pitchers that may get to that spot that I really like - Ethan Hankins from HS in Georgia, Kumar Rocker, also a GA HS kid, and Logan Gilbert from Stetson (strong deGrom vibe). OF Jordyn Adams will likely be there and is a classic Royals crush ... multi sport HS athlete with enormous physical ability (Byron Buxton-type tools) but I would stay away from him (biggest bust/upside pick at that spot). His ISO (SLG-AVG) is ridiculous. Average is not impressive and still needs work on recognizing and spitting on spin, but his raw power is sick. And he’s probably the second-best prospect on that team, since 2017 second-round pick MC Melendez is showing nearly the same power but with plus C defense. Quote:
“Sneak in?” They were one of the hottest teams in baseball in the second half and secured the top WC spot. Do you consider all WC teams as sneaking in? I think he would have survived had they missed but still had a winning season.

Schnell, Groshans, Rodriguez and Rocker would be an insane haul. Not sure those guys all fall that way, though. Rodriguez and Rocker are probably 2 of the top 5 upside pitchers in this draft, and my #2 and 3 HS arms.

It would need to be a large haul built around a top 25 prospect, IMO, if he keeps this up. He’s young, cheap, good and controlled enough that they should ask for a ton or hold on to him.

I'm to the point where the Royals have shown they suck at evaluating pitching, so just go all bats. Either fill in with FA pitchers when you have to or acquire good AAA or AA pitchers with your assets you drafted on bats. It seems like bats are easier to project than pitchers. We failed with Zimmer. We failed with Ashe Russell. We are currently failing with Nolan Watson, who looks like a dumpster fire. We didn't get our moneys worth on Montgomery, Crow or JP Howell either.

Whit's such a good player. If they trade him they better get something legit back. Especially since we don't have to trade him.

Whit may be good, but man this team sucks. Poor Jake Junis.

I think we've seen about enough of Matt Olson. He's hit about three absolute bombs this series.
