Colton Cowser was a below slot signing at fifth overall in the 2021 draft. He will make his major league debut today after posting a .996 OPS in Triple-A. The O's took Heston Kjerstad second overall in 2020 and he's finally producing after being setback by injuries. But with their second pick in 2020, they took Jordan Westburg overslot and he just made his major league debut. He has a chance to be a first division regular in the infield. |

The Royals have one of the 5 worst minor league systems in baseball according to every source out there. While at the same time having a terrible MLB team and their response is to literally fire 1 guy. |

Nobody knew who the hell Yennier Cano was before this year. He's now a setup man pitching in the All-Star Game. |

To put a GM in place that knows what he is doing would require likely firing every single person in the front office, all of the minor league people etc etc..that is expensive when you are then going to need to hire the people he wants while still paying everyone else. |

I'd like to hear who people really hope we take with the eighth pick.
Let's assume the big five (Crews, Skenes, Langford, Clark, and Jenkins ) are gone, who would be the next three players you'd want? I'll offer my next three picks: Teel, Lowder, and Dollander. |

If they dip for a HS bat, my favorite guy is Arjun Nimmala (other than Max Clark and Walker Jenkins). He's the youngest top guy in the class, which matters. Hurston Waldrep is another college pitcher worth considering, I think. The Florida ace is nasty and has a good present fastball-splitter-slider combo. The splitter is a split-change, so it's offspeed. |

If things go as expected Matt Shaw is someone I like, a second baseman with a really high end bat profile. If they go to save some money I'd prefer Tommy Troy over Bradfield, Troy profiles as a guy who can hit where Bradfield might legit be Billy Hamilton and I get all the oh elite defense and stolen bases equals war shit but a dude hitting 215 isn't that helpful as an everyday player. |

Also wanted to add Heasley was throwing 98 out of the pen yesterday so maybe he actually has an MLB spot as a 1 inning guy.
But the main problem is still there, there really is nothing as far as starters go..Alec Marsh is probably a reliever too. |

Maikel Garcia was as recently as last year listed at 6'0'' and 145 lbs. His MLB ESPN player card says 6'0'' 180.
