“While the Royals’ farm system lacks any real pizzaz and generally rates among the worst in the game”. How can they have the worst after picking high in draft for last few years? I’m not certain this trade helps in the big long winded picture. We are not in a position to deal our prospects away.
Well, they can have one of the worst systems because they’ve drafted poorly, meaning their scouting has failed them. Sandlin may very well turn in to a major league pitcher but the guy has made just a couple appearances above A-ball. Picollo is rolling the dice. After years of an ultra conservative approach, I’m good with it.
