6. Royals
Callis: Jac Caglianone, 1B/LHP, Florida (No. 3)
Before this weekend, it didn't appear that Caglianone could get to the Royals. If he doesn't, it's no secret that they love California prep shortstop Bryce Rainer and also would consider Smith.
Mayo: Bryce Rainer, SS, Harvard-Westlake, Studio City, Calif. (No. 10)
This could come down to a choice between Caglianone and Rainer, with Hagen Smith a possibility as well. But Kansas City has always liked Rainer’s left-handed swing.

Yeah, I don't love this scenario for some reason.
There's nothing wrong with Caglianone, but he just doesn't resonate with me. Maybe I'm not giving enough credit to the improvement in his K:BB rate this season.
I prefer Burns if he makes it, and Braden Montgomery.
