***Official 2023 Royals Season Repository Thread***



2023 – A new beginning for the Royals. Matt Quatraro era begins. A year to see which of our young players will make up the core going forward. Can Bobby Witt Jr become a superstar SS or will go to the hot corner? Will Brady Singer take the next step forward? Will Salvy be Salvy? Will Big Vin or Pratto take first base? Will they find a position for MJ? Who else emerges from the youth movement? Not to mention the development of the new downtown stadium.

Cause you try to steal guys later...here's the issue. When other teams do it too and pick before you problem...


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...

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:
Mitchell is the best high school catcher in the draft class this year, which probably puts him in the first round automatically, although the potential as a left-handed-hitting catcher with power and plus defense also qualifies him. Mitchell starts with a very wide stance and still strides forward from there, which gave him some trouble with better quality stuff last summer and probably cuts off some of his natural power. His hands work well at the plate and he has the finish to his swing to drive the ball in the air, with 25-homer potential if he hits enough to get to it. He’s a plus defender with a plus arm who is a no-doubt catcher, which is good since he doesn’t have a clear alternative position. He’s nowhere near the same sort of prospect off the mound, but does work 90-94 mph, showing his arm strength, just lacking anything like an average second pitch.

What happens if the dude is a 1st baseman?

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