Cross was chosen right where he was suppose to as well. He was always in the 8-10 range on all the prospect lists.

Ahh, yes.
The fan of the 'most talented young' team in baseball since 2020. All those playoff appearances, averaging 90 wins a season, and STILL haven't achieved more playoff success than the Royals in that same time span. That must hurt. You should take a lesson from the Royals on how to win when you manage to land the 'most talented elite prospect group' in baseball. But, alas, you're a Blue Jays fan . . . . . . |

Royals' pick in Baseball America's just released mock draft.
6. Royals — Hagen Smith, LHP, Arkansas In terms of strikeout rate and batting average against, no pitcher in the country has been as dominant as Hagen Smith this spring. His 48.3% strikeout rate is tops among qualified D-I arms and so the .136 opponent average he’s posted. Smith allowed three earned runs in his first outing of the year (just one inning against James Madison) and since then he has allowed just six earned runs in 40 innings. He’s currently generating a 47% miss rate on all of his pitches, sitting 94-96 with his fastball from the left side and batters are hitting just .087/.125/.152 against his slider. He’s a nightmare matchup at the moment. Potential critiques include the Tommy John survey on his resume, a walk rate that is higher than you’d like for a top-10 pitcher (10.6% this season and 12.7% for his career) and perhaps some questions about what his third pitch is going to be beyond the fastball/slider combo. Even with those, he fits as a tier-one arm in the class. It wouldn’t be shocking if he were the first pitcher off the board. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stor...or-every-team/ |

Ideally he should be a 4th OF late game defensive replacement type but there really isn't anyone else ready to play CF either. |

It turns out that even if you're in the joke division that is the AL Central you can't play the White Sox every single week. |
