The goal each year in the draft is to find as many quality major league talents as possible. From 2007 to 2014, the Royals signed 53 players that eventually made their way to the major leagues, with the eight from the 2012 class being the most from one draft year. Dayton Moore and staff want to find major league talent, but they have a secondary goal to continue to grow the game with those players they draft. They have done just that with former players that have become coaches, trainers, and in 2012 draftee Ethan Chapman’s case, an agent.
