During the draft, yes. But GMDM’s recent comments indicate the Royals are still “doing their homework on him”. Which is horseshit, barring either a complete 180 to a remorseful apology from Heimlich or a retraction from the victim, neither of which we have reason to believe will happen.

@jimcallisMLB: 4th-rder Eric Cole signs w/@Royals for $500k (pick 122 value = $451,200). Arkansas OF, switch-hitter with pop, could be average tools across the board. @MLBDraft

That’s going to do it for their bonus pool, I think. May have 220k to play with, but I don’t expect that to be enough to land Madden or Walla.
And that’s fine. They landed top 5 and top 20 talents with their first two picks. |

The royals signed an insane number of their picks, though.

Yeah. I just tend to get greedy. Really like Walla. Near-Bubba Starling level size and athleticism (less arm) with more advanced baseball skills. I think he could be a real steal if they can make it happen. |

I guess we have to hope that other teams busted their nut in the IFA market and will be less active next year. Perhaps then we'll finally get off our ass and attempt to add some talent. Either that, or maybe they'll finally institute an international player draft. That might be our only hope to find any talent. When the Yankees of the world load up on talent in IFA and still have every other advantage in the world it's really hard to imagine small market teams being able to compete, especially when they don't actually use every venue possible to gain talented baseball players.

BTW it is very clear these players don't give a shit about winning this year.

That's how you lose a whole bunch of games right there. Have your chance against a struggling bullpen and you do that.
