If they wanted to go under slot why wasn't it Houck?

Also the Royals system is so bad they can't handle missing on high picks, it's not a good system that can take chances at all. |

To save money to throw it at players in the later rounds. Like a guy who is borderline on going to college or going pro, or a guy who slips in the draft like Sean Manea. It's the baseball version of a NFL trade down.

It's not a good strategy when your system is bad, bad systems can't really risk blowing high picks.

Anyway the biggest issue is you can easily argue there were better underslot options than this guy...

The Royals are literally trying to have no fans apparently.

I actually think it makes sense given how bad the system is. You don't want to throw all your eggs in one basket. Try and find some guys later on in the draft. Now the issue is whether the guys making the pick are the ones who helped the system get this bad in the first place.

Beyond slot money, it may just be an admission that we are 3-5 years away from being decent.
Regardless of what has been said by others here, I think he sticks at catcher. Keith Law: Quote:

In all reality prep catchers just hit very low, take a look at Melendez to this point. |

Makes perfect sense through the lens of 30 year rebuilds
