This could be more exciting to follow than the 2014 Wild Card race.

So Jim Bowden did an article ranking the farm systems and we apparently came in at 29. We still have very little talent, but we're not THAT bad.

I still don't care what Jim Bowden thinks. He never likes anything the Royals do. Maybe he should do a list of best teams at skimming signing bonus money. That's a list that would have some merit.

I think Whit will be traded. If he's not it's because there wasn't a decent offer for him. There is zero reason to trade him for a couple of lottery tickets when we have him under control for several years.

It really depends how he is rating the systems. Basically every well thought of Royals prospect is in single A and there are some places that don't rate those guys that highly because they can easily crater. If he is valuing guys close to the majors that would explain that ranking.

Well obviously, but I see no reason why a competent GM can't pull off a decent return. Whit is under team control for what, another 4 years? He hits for high AVG/OBP. He isn't a power hitter, but I think in a different ballpark he can be a 15-20 HR a year 2B. He steals bases at a high rate. If Moore can't get a decent return for that it's on him.
