Moore’s drafting has to improve (he has been about MLB average over the past several years. That’s not good enough for a small market). I was confident it was on the upswing entering the year. The struggles of Pratto and Melendez at Wilmington are troubling.

Finding Kyle Isbel, Nicky Lopez, and Khalil Lee types in later rounds helps, but they need to hit at a better-than-average rate on the big acquisitions.

I sure wonder if they have the right people at A and A+ working with the hitters on development of their tools.

Lot of chatter several places the last 24 hours that Orioles may be leaning Witt over Adley. I’m wondering if it’s just media gossip or something to it?

I’m also wondering if the Royals would ultimately be better off if the O’s did take Witt Jr. and left them the choice of Adley or Vaughn?

Duncan, you hear anything about any of this and any legitimacy to it?? Just curious.

Nothing official. I’ve seen some chatter about the O’s looking at Witt or Vaughn but nothing concrete.

The Os May be overthinking and trying to save slot money at 1. That works great in deep drafts when you have a huge draft pool, but the DBacks have a bigger pool and at least 3, maybe 4 picks before the O’s pick again.

I’m good with Witt or Rutschman. Don’t be surprised if the Royals pass on Rutschman to take Witt if that option presents itself.

I'm a bit worried we don't have the coaching to develop Witt to his potential. Eh, hope I'm wrong.

That’s the concern for any team that takes one of these young, toolsy guys.

Sometimes guys just don’t develop.

Are the Twins bad at development because Buxton and Sano have been less than expected?

My friend who does scouting and video work made an interesting comparison last week that I think is a good way to approach baseball prospects:

Developing baseball players is as hard as developing a QB in the NFL. Many have the needed physical abilities to be good/great, but even good coaching doesn’t always unlock their potential.

It's definitely always a concern. I think my concerned is magnified a bit when considering our hitters recent struggles in the minors. In light of those concerns, I think I'd feel a bit more comfortable taking someone who was more polished out of the gate.

Witt's potential is very exciting. I think if we really want that blue chip "franchise player", it will require a risk like this in order to make it happen - but I'm still a bit worried in light of the struggles our prospects are having in the lower tiers of our system. At the end of the day, I'm a massive fan no matter who they select. We just really need to "hit" on the first picks of the next two drafts if we're going to be able to pull off rebuild 2.0.

Does Witt have the type of support around him to help him be successful if he goes to a team with less than adequate coaches in the minors?

I guess the good news is there are two potential all around superstars, one a little more polished than the other (college vs. HS) and an ELITE bat that will rake in the majors (Vaughn) and the Royals will get at least one of those three.

So be thankful we got at least a Top 3 pick this year.
