But we're talking overall talent. I'm not saying he wouldn't see good pitching but the vast majority of what he saw are going to be guys who never have a chance in pro ball.
Where does that data even come from? College? Wood bat? He hasn't even faced pitching similar to what the top 100 has let alone comparing him to MLB hitters.
MLBPA keeps losing, they better get their s*** together and really figure out what they want in the next CBA because the owners are thinking 5 moves ahead and keep getting everything they want.
The Royals commitment to their minor leaguers are paying off. They got Saul Garza (379 on BA top 500) and Kale Emshoff (174 on BA top 500).
Hopefully we see similar results.
This is probably the deepest our system has ever been and that is with 4 graduations last year. And next month we add even more talent to our system with the J2 signings.
If we go 50 games or whatever the shortened season is then he might not even get a shot unless someone gets hurt. And if they give him a full year of service time for a handful of games that's even more disappointing.
They must be pretty confident in what Martin is going to sign for cause I don't see any significant underslot deals even if they punt their final pick.
