It’s all about what you can do with what you draft.
The Royals have done best with college arm scouting of late, but you have to have some position players in the system.
I wouldn’t go that extreme but don’t have a problem with prioritizing college arms in the early rounds.
Re: how long a position player needs to be i. The system before you really think about them, I get where you’re coming from but don’t think that’s a realistic way of looking at it. But yeah, of guys who have been in the system for 1+ years, Hicklen is probably the second best prospect. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. He’s been pretty productive, especially for Wilmington.
