After reading more about Brady McConnell, I think the reasoning there was to get in early on him, as someone who could rocket up draft boards in another year.

His power and speed combo is intriguing. They need to develop his bat, which this development program hasn’t been great at doing. He missed most of his freshman year with an injury, so he’s still young in terms of development.

It’s a big risk but has substantial reward opportunity.

Lot of college pitching. I’ve no problem with that considering how well the team seems to have done with the college kids it nabbed last year (beyond the first four, guys like Bowlen, Haake, Heasely are all showing out).

The Oregon State guy might have been a buy low due to injury. Intriguing. Was better at times than the third round pick from Arizona State, who I like.

So we know the minor leagues for KC have had a real problem developing players. The question is, should we be looking for them to do something about it? You'd think bringing in a number of new coaches and minds or implementing a new system of some sort would have to be in the works.

They’ve rotated out the pitching and hitting coordinators a few times. These are the people who set the overall philosophy of coaching and development for the minor league coaches. Believe this is the first year for the new hitting coordinator, as the previous guy is on the major league staff now.

I think they have a real problem with something at High-A. Don’t know if that’s overall philosophy or the coach there or what.

They’ve shifted gears a lot on the pitching side of the house. They used to try to turn all slider guys into curveball guys instead but have moved off of that.

They still are anti-long toss. Which is dumb.

Really weird draft for KC.

McConnell and Witt are the only real “upside” guys they’ve selected so far.

They’ve got a handful of college pitchers who could be useful back-end starters or relievers, but none of the rest of this looks very Royals-y.

Is it possible because they are having issues with flameouts and a system that still is pretty slim that they are just trying to pick dudes who are solid instead of going boom or bust?

I mean I have no idea on the strategy and their draft record isn't exactly sparkling as of late so who knows.

That seems to be the case. Noticeable shift in strategy.

McConnell is a future trade guy.

Take the Royals draft, subtract Witt and you have the Cardinals draft.

Nothing but college pitchers. In what was said to be the worst draft for college pitchers in a generation. 8 of their first 11 picks were college pitchers with most of them having limited projection.

A bunch of high floor, low ceiling players who are almost certain to be little more than 5th starters...if you're lucky. Probably a handful of middle relievers when all is said and done.
This is as irritated as I've been by a Cardinals draft...probably ever.

Incredibly strange approach, IMO.

I think he’s a future 3B/CF.

Whether he hits enough to make his power and speed work is another story.

It also makes me wonder if Dayton has no faith in his org’s player development.
