It’s Draft day for MLB and while most of the news in regards to the Royals surrounds how the fans are nearly voting eight starters into the All Star lineup it’s still a big day to add the farm. Let’s quickly check in and analyze what others are think the Royals might do.
Baseball America – Cornelius Randolph
Nathan Kirby LHP Virginia
Perfect Game – Phil Bickford 1st Rd.
Ke’Bryan Hayes Comp Rd.
MLB Pipeline 1st Rd – Brady Aiken – Jim Callis
Ashe Russell – Jon Mayo
Comp Rd – Bickford – Callis
Kirby – Mayo
Keith Law ESPN – Kolby Allard LHP
A very intriguing idea by Jim Callis and something that I think is very realistic as I’ve heard like others that the Royals are linked with Bickford but they have two picks, management leverage and some time to take Brady Aiken and his heavy upside kinda like I wrote here.
