Anyone know much about the talent level at the ACL rookie league? It’s still incredibly early but Erick Pena is off to a pretty slow start, would nice to see one of our highly regarded prospects hit the ground running for a change. It’s been too long since KC has gotten anyone worth mentioning out of Latin America.

I’m expecting him to put on a show tonight.

If the Royals evaluated Rocker as a 4 or 5 then he'll be an ace, they aren't good with pitchers.

What's the success rate for drafting a HS pitcher versus college (not just the Royals)? Even if 'success' is just playing in the big leagues?

I read one outdated article that mentioned back in the day, you had a pretty decent idea of who would make it, but now it's a crazy crapshoot and basically a terrible idea, but didn't compare it to drafting college pitchers. Saw another article that had the top 50 HS players ever drafted and I saw two pitchers that I noticed... Kershaw and Kerry Wood.

That's truly a sick (and sadly accurate) burn. Well played!

Erick Peña went 3-3 with his first professional HR tonight. He also doubled and walked twice. That’s fun.

There's an interesting pick. Took a guy who was considered by some to be a top 100 player in the 17th round. He was ranked #101 on the official MLB.com rankings and seems like many people thought he could sneak into being a 1st or 2nd round pick. We'll see if they can actually sign him.

A really interesting note: The Royals selected NC State C Luca Tresh in the 17th round. (He was the No. 67 overall player on @keithlaw's board.)

They probably figure they have alot of money to spend since they've drafted all plebs previously.

Wonder when any promotions will be made. BWJ was surprisingly back in AA.

BW Jr went 3-5 with a HR last night. It looks like he'll be one of the few prospects with so much natural talent that he's immune to the Royals "development" process.
