The Royals have drafted well in most years under Dayton Moore. The 2010 and 2011 drafts are kind of black holes when you look at the first round picks. There are a few picks in each of those drafts later that could save the overall draft class, but Christian Colon and Bubba Starling are two big, ugly marks.

Minor league development is better now than it was, but I think it's pretty clear there's a problem with developing hitters. I believe his name is "Jack Maloof."

Pitching development seems to have gotten better since they minimized Bill Fischer (another dinosaur like Maloof). Can only hope the hitting development has done the same since Maloof was fired as hitting coach last year.
