The pros about Shields are his age (17) and athleticism (HS quarterback). There's hope he will take off if he just focuses on pitching.

Shields is the type of prospect the Royals have taken a lot but rarely been able to do much with. He’s a projectable HS arm. Hopefully the new folks in charge of minor league development can get more out of him.
He already has a usable sweeper and changeup, so it’s more a matter of helping him mature and add velocity. They have done that with some success. It’s a popular pick, though. Pretty good Day 1, even with having one fewer pick during it than projected. I’ve also seen Law talk about the weakness of this draft/lack of depth. Probably has something to do with the royals willingness to part with the comp pick …

Sorry, I didn’t see the draft thread. Really appreciate all the input.

What I’m seeing on Jac Caglianone:
1. First off, Caglianone is pronounced Cag-lee-own (the ian is basically silent) 2. Every ranking I found had him in the top five overall prospects and he was top 3 in most of them and 2 of them had him at #1 overall. 3. He’s 6’5” 250 lbs w/ sz 19 shoes 4. Some descriptions of him: “a big personality, face of the franchise type” “a guy who’s going to sell tons of jerseys” “left handed Aaron Judge” “most comparable to Bryce Harper” 5. He said in an interview that the Royals are going to let him pitch. The talking heads said this would slow his path to the majors and that while he’s a pretty solid pitcher, it’s not why he was a high draft pick. 6. The main knock on him is that his chase rate is too high, however, he brought it way down this past season. 7. Can hit 100mph on his fastball, but velocity hovered at 95-97 late in the year.

Fun fact: I played 10/20 No Limit Texas Holdem in Tampa with Jac Caglianone's dad. I just now figured it out. He was telling me that his son played baseball at the University of Florida and had just set the single season Florida record for home runs.

imagine being fans of the white sox or a's, who not only suck but aren't managing the team well enough to even be eligible for the draft lottery next year

Kind of interesting we are now apparently taking nothing but college pitchers. I guess if they think it's a weak draft they might as well get some relievers at worst?

A lot of those guys in the back half of the top 10 look like under slot signs. KC must have its eye on at least one guy in the rest of the draft who is a tough sign.
