Carlos Hernandez at Lexington is a SP to watch, as are Dan Tillo and Gerson Garabito and Evan Steele (all at A+ or A, shocker!).
Hernandez is huge (6-6) and throws hard. Needs to continue to improve his control but is really intriguing moving forward.
If they get lucky and can nab an advanced college arm with high upside with the 2019 selection, KC’s rebuild really starts to take shape. Ultimately, you just take the best player, though, regardless of position. Stockpile talent and trade if necessary.

Out of curiosity, do you not subscribe to this new theory the Cubs are using? It's basically that hitters are way more likely to make it to the majors that pitchers so they used all of their high picks on position players because they are safer.
There's a part of me that thinks maybe we should do that, go with the hitters over the pitchers early and hope you can nab some pitching later.
