Given Singer’s performance last night and the Lynch news (the right decision in my view), that draft class is almost toast. Hope they give Marsh a shot, but I’m not optimistic about that.

Agreed — I buy a single box of Topps every year and just LOVE the throwback feel of these cards vs the design randomizer tool they've been using during the past five or six years.

Really bad news about Lacy. The Royals' luck with drafting and developing starting pitching continues.

Asa Lacy is the pitching equivalent of Adalberto Mondesi. At this time last year Boston was expecting him to play early in the season as he was already sprinting and doing other baseball activities. For some reason, there was very little motivation from him to get back on the field. He was content to just collect his 3 Million and chill. Last I looked, he was the only free agent short stop still unsigned. Hopefully Lacy has the motivation to get back, but so far he has been a bust of a pick, much like Kyle Zimmer.

I wonder what Asa Lacy's career could have been if he hadn't basically lost the entire 2020 season. Then again, the Royals' pitching "development" people at the time would have been working with him...
