Baseball’s amateur draft is just weeks away, to be held June 12-14. The Royals forfeited their first round pick last year for signing free agent Ian Kennedy, but this year they will have the #14 overall pick, and will get four of the top 90 picks, thanks to a competitive balance lottery pick. The Royals will have over $8 million to spend on their draft pool, giving them a chance to re-stock a farm system that has become ranked near the bottom of baseball.
So who are some players that might be available in the first round?
