The Marlins' loss means the Royals, despite 103 losses, will not pick until 4th in next year's draft.
They last picked #4 in 2010, when there was a clear top 3 of Bryce Harper, Jameson Taillon, and Manny Machado, and the Royals were forced to settle for Christian Colon.
No, Rany, they chose Colon. There were rumors they were leaning towards a skinny lefty with a weird arm slot right up until the draft. But the Royals opted for Colon over that lefty, Chris Sale. :-)
And if that didn’t sting enough, Christian Yelich was drafted later in that round by the Marlins. But lots of other teams passed on him too . . . . . . [Reply]

The next draft class is good enough the Royals can get a better player at 4 than available at 1 in several recent drafts.
I’m still enamored KC Spencer Torkelson of AZ State but don’t expect him to last to 4. He and Hancock will go 1-2 unless one of them just collapses (which is possible - Singer was a consensus #1 going into his junior year and fell to KC).
Pete Crow-Armstrong seems like a good fit for KC at 4. Super athletic CF with good speed who has contact skills and power potential. [Reply]
Ned goes out with a walkoff win and a Salvy splash. Soler hits HR #48 and Dozier hits his 10th triple of the year to finish tied with Mondesi and Whit for the AL lead. [Reply]

Hoz -0.1 and -0.3 fWAR since he left. What a piece of garbage he is. He isn’t even a contact hitter anymore, used to k 16% of his PA...now it’s 24%. 142k and 160k In SD. Man is that contract a millstone [Reply]
