The KC Royals have made a splash with their first few picks, though some may think the team is just padding positions where they already have depth.

The KC Royals have made their first couple selections of the draft and the first few picks were interesting, to say the least. Surprisingly enough, the numbers 2 and 3 ranked draft prospects made it through to the 4th round for the Royals to pick from.

The Royals picked up Asa Lacy, a left-handed pitcher with outstanding potential, with pick 4, and then down at pick 32, they took the versatile shortstop Nick Loftin.
