I guess they can load up on potential bats in the international market, plus their best prospects are almost all bats. This makes sense, and glad they stayed away from high school arms.

Our farm system, in 4 picks, has gotten significantly better tonight. That’s all you can ask for, really.

I’m really surprised. There were a lot of HS arms and position players the Royals were connected to, available, and they bypassed them all.
Will be interesting to see what’s left at #58. |

Marten Gasparini will be a panacea to any and all concerns about the offense.

And they went away from their traditional setup in doing all this. Heavy on college arms.
That Bubic kid? Funky delivery and all? Can’t see them drafting him five years ago. Kowar’s delivery also might have precluded him. They got a top 5 and top 20 talent in Singer and Kiera, and the other two are interesting as well. |

I cant believe Duncan doesn't want a prospect for Salvy. This team would be setup nicely in 3 years.

International signing period coming up should be exciting as well.
Not that it matters too much, but I'd be extremely pleased if our farm system could enter 2019 around #20 or better in baseball, with a jump into the top 10 by 2020. |

I’m not opposed to trading Perez, just know what type of offer it would take. They don’t move him just to get “A” pick unless it’s a legitimate top 5-10 prospect in all of baseball. I would listen. But the price would be high. |

Perez is 28 years old, is playing like he has 30-40 HR power right now, and is throwing out 50% of runners. You literally aren't going to find anyone better to work with any of these young pitchers, save Yadier Molina, but Perez is in that class. I wouldn't say he's completely off limits, but it better be for more than just "a prospect." Trading off a great player for a lottery ticket when you have them under contract cheap is not always smart.

Trading Perez is so dumb it doesn't even merit discussion
