The Kansas City Royals are bad, again, and seem destined for a top draft pick, again. Though the Royals zigged instead of zagging to select Frank Mozzicato with the seventh overall pick in this year’s draft, there is a very long list of names available for next year’s draft. It’s never too early to start thinking about the draft, and so here we are.
This kind of early evaluation is dependent on a lot of variables, not the least of which will be the Royals’ eventual position. As I type this, the Royals are 45-60 and are on pace to secure the sixth overall pick in the draft.
