Anthony Rendon 27th round
Lindor 8th overall
Pete Alonso 64th overall

These are some of the best players in baseball and they would all last until our pick this year. We are in the 6 spot currently.
Typical teams don't, but I still sure as hell don't trust Moore to take the right player.

Let's pretend Moore gets shitcanned after the season, who would be the top contenders to replace him?

They will end up with a top 10 pick but not getting an elite talent.

Bring on Christian Colon 2.0
Yeah but that goes both ways. They expanded the playoffs, we have some legit hitters in Whit, Dozier and Salvy... and worst of all we have a really solid bullpen that would be have been a major strength in a playoff series. Zimmer/Hahn/Staumont/Holland/Rosenthal would have been legit.

But of course we know they aren’t in the playoffs.

With the young pitchers coming,I could see Duffy finishing in the pen.

He’s been having velocity drops after 3-4 innings pretty consistently this year. Dropping him down to a one-inning role could make him a late-inning weapon. He would be amenable to the move, I’m sure.

Singer, Bubic, and Keller is a pretty exciting 25-and-under 3/5 of your rotation, especially considering that Lacy and Lynch and Kowar are the higher upside guys in their system and haven’t even made it up yet.

Re: the draft, they’re still picking high and will still have a lot of $$ to spend. They have pretty clearly shifted approaches as an organization and are rating riskier HS arms and HS bats lower than they used to. Ideally you’d see a college bat do a Rendon or Martin-like slide and the Royals to pounce this time.

How is the international group looking? I was looking through MLB's top 30 international prospects and it shows us as most likely landing spot for the #12 prospect a 16 year old SS named Daniel Vasquez. MLB says he has the size of Fernando Tatis Jr. and if he progress normally he could become that player as well. Also getting Manny Machado comparisons. His tools rate out like this

Hit - 55
Run - 55
Field - 55
Power - 50
Arm - 55

He would become our #2 positional player. Hed be a pretty nice get.

Give seen that we should be getting around $6 mil like last year, but Vasquez should only command around $1.5 mil. So who else are we looking at?

Haven’t really heard/seen anything about international guys this year. I heard some buzz about Pena before his signing.

I’d think any international guy would slot at best 3rd in the prospect rankings for position guys (and likely lower, behind Witt, Pena, Lee, and Isbel).

Like what I read about Vasquez, though. Makes sense to me to spend big on the best positional guys and spread money around fishing for arms. So much uncertainty with 16 YO...

I know you said you haven't seen much about the international prospects, but the number 1 prospect on MLBs list is Yoelqui Cespedes. Hes Yoenis' half brother and is 22 years old. On MLB.com it says that he is still weighing his options and may play in Japan or enter the draft. Why would he enter the draft and not just sign during the international period? Cant he make more doing the international thing? How often does this happen?
