Always sorry Bubba didn't work out. Interesting to play a little "what if?" If the Royals had selected Rendon, he broke into the majors in 2013, and has played 3rd and 2nd in the bigs. We theoretically could have seen him at 2nd and Moose at 3rd as the Royals were gearing up for their back-to-back series years. Rendon instead of Getz and Infante during those years? Would his bat have made just enough of a difference in the '14 series? He was hurt the first part of 2015, but returned and would have been part of the 2015 Championship.

The kid made it to the show which is more than I ever did or ever will.
I agree with you - he worked hard and kept at it. He's no HOF'er but congratulations to him for chasing and living out part of his dream!
