  1. The fall of Fernando Romero is super puzzling. Where did all the strikeouts go?
  2. Doogie has just reported that Mack, Sands and Helman are signed.
  3. Their BP or Fangraphs writers had hopes of Gorman and Hankins. The Singer pick was praised for the value (except by the BP guy) but many of the more in-the-know writers preferred boom-or-bust prep kids. Their system has literally no pitching talent, so it makes sense. But, on the flip side, they've also lost faith in the organization's ability to develop any pitchers. So, they wanted higher ceiling guys if they went the pitching route (outside of Singer).
  4. And with a depleted system and money to spend, they took no chances on high-ceilinged high school kids. The KC faithful are puzzled.
  5. I would take hitters high and take pitchers in quantity. Hitters have less risk of career-altering injury. Hope for best-case development or the learning of a new pitch to propel the pitchers.
  6. Draft hitters, acquire pitchers. Rany wrote an article on this from a Royals’ fan perspective for The Athletic. https://theathletic.com/375189/2018/05/31/kansas-city-royals-mlb-draft-2018-hitters/
  7. I think we need to be hyping Engelb Vielma more... Anyone been able to see his at-bats? The kid is finally filling the box scores with hits.
  8. This article prompted me to look up Dillon Tate (a guy I hoped would fall to the Twins last year) and... Woof. Guy is struggling big time. And, while I am glad we took Jay, I hope we take a high schooler this year.
  9. There sure are a lot of reports about guys "crushing in Fort Myers/EST..."
  10. I'm not a big believer in Kirilloff (just because of slow hands) but, 7?! Wow. Do you have a write-up on him?
  11. Don't want to be "that guy" but... Do they test for steroids in the KBO?
  12. Any reports on Huascar Ynoa's velocity? No idea if asking for reports from the DSL is a stupid question, or not.
  13. Twins have now drafted the 74th, 75th, and 76th best players according to BA. Crazy.
  14. BA had Blankenhorn 1 spot in front of Cody on their Top 500 (at 75).
  15. He just hit 94 MPH in the 6th inning if that makes anyone feel better.
  16. I was scared off by the poster that pointed out how most of his homeruns were "wall scrapers" and a few were inside-the-parkers. Cannot see that translating in Target Field.
  17. Probably because Aiken and Matuella were healthy. Which proves the point of Hrbowski.
  18. I thought next year's draft was supposed to be very strong? Kiley McDaniel has mentioned it's strength and someone (Law, maybe?) has went on record saying there are 10-15 draft ineligible guys that would be first round picks this year. I really wish I had a link to back up my claim. I'll look.
  19. Nice post! Thanks for this refreshing view from up close.
