Kansas City Royals: Rule 5 pick possibility, LJay Newsome

If the Royals are refusing to spend any real money this season, and they are, then they should take advantage of the opportunity by taking some risks on younger guys. A great place to add some young talented players is through the Rule 5 draft.

There are several pitchers available in the Rule 5 draft this year that I find intriguing. Sterling Sharp, Alec Hansen, and Jordan Sheffield all have major league stuff. But, like most young pitchers with good stuff that are left unprotected in the Rule 5 draft, they tend to struggle to throw strikes consistently.
