Seems a clear winner would be to get the Scherzer clone. But that’s quite the guarantee.

Rocker is a pretty complete prospect. He's phenomenal.

plus-plus FB and slider, plus change.

He's going to be a Strasburg-like lock for 1st overall.

And what are the 2-10 guys looking like?

That's a question?

Take the 'guaranteed to be Scherzer' out of the equation and just say it's Kumar Rocker and I'd take Rocker an the risk associated with pitching prospects over a 1st round exit.

You could trade Rocker the moment he's eligible to be traded and get one of the best young established veterans in the game. There are maybe 10 pitchers that wouldn't get moved for him. I'd say Snell is probably as close as you get to borderline and then just because of some odd injury history.

I wouldn't trade Flaherty for him, Dodgers probably wouldn't move Buehler. But you could get guys like Paddack and Alcantara for him pretty easily I would think. A guy like Beiber is probably right at the borderline.

His immediate value, irrespective of the 'prospect' risk, is so immense that you absolutely take him over a 1 and done.

I think even if the Royals tried to lose, that aren’t even close to being the worst team.

Royals will win 22-25 games.

I agree with you guys and its not even close, but what if it's not a guaranteed 1st round exit and anything can happen. Does that change your mind?

Pittsburgh sucks

6 teams have positive players?

Did they spend a month arguing for a season that might not even happen?
[Reply]

I think the wins will be in the ballpark of 25.

27-33.
[Reply]

That is exactly what they did. I bet we are 8-2 when the season is called. Tied for first in the A.L. therefore World champions. Sorry, no parade.
[Reply]

I mean, I'll have a parade in my backyard with my kids and wife. So I guess maybe there will be some small parades.

Number 1 pick.

Nope

2014 Wildcard game on FS1.... it's one of the 3 sports channels I still get on Dish.

I had to switch to Directv.

I couldn’t stand another year without the Royals much less than without the NFLN. It’s a shame because I like the Dish Hopper better than the Directv Genie.
