*****Official 2024 Royals Season Repository Thread***** (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=351629)

Caglione is the guy I figured would be the pick all last year when we were looking at #2 overall. Best power bat the Royals have drafted since maybe Bo Jackson.

Caglianone was comped to Matt Olson by Jim Bowden.

He reminds me of prime Chris Davis, who hit .286/.370/.634 with 53 HR for the Orioles in 2013.

That is great info. Thank you.

Jesus, MLB and the MLBPA are truly ****ed. Manfred is a huge piece of shit. Nothing will dissuade me on that. Manfred has no place in MLB and his “leadership” might actually be worse than Milwaukee’s favorite car salesman, Bud Selig.

There’s a lot of things MLB can do to make this game more popular, more world wide, but they consistently fail, yet the money is always there. MLB consistently misses opportunities to make opportunities. It’s embarrassing.

Where were for the Juan Lebron days?

So he's a two way player? Probably a positional player but could be a pitcher as well? If so I love it because it's two players in one. If he fails at one he may be good at the other.

2nd round pick is David Shields
LHP (high school) in pittsburgh pa

2024 gatorade pennsylvania player of hte year

He's Billay with a smidge of athleticism

Rockies took the player I wanted 3 picks before ours in the second round. The pitcher from Iowa.

Also with noting that the Nationals took Caleb Lomavita with the compensatory pick they got from the Royals for Hunter Harvey. He's a catcher from Cal.

Brody Brecht has ace-level stuff. I was a little surprised he fell out of the first round.

Lomavita is an athlete who has so much room to grow. Baseball America had him No. 17 on its board.
