Joey could be asking for big bucks but he’d be more able to get that from the Phillies or Reds with their 2nd picks and their $13m allotted to them than the Royals and their total budget of $3.2m.

Not sure the accuracy of the report or when they watched him. The signability issue is real. I know Keith Law doesn’t have him in the first round anymore. Do you know how hard Zeferjahn was throwing? Love the site btw

Zeferjahn’s velocity was the one that had dipped from my understanding. Currently Joey is ranked 16th and 26th by MLB and BA so while I would love to see him slip to 67 I doubt it is likely.

The rest of your players listed are definitely good prospects the Royals should consider selecting. Thanks for the comment !

Maybe he signs with his own team much easier than others. Hunter Bishop and Brandon Marsh are both multi sport 6’4″ athletes. Tyler Fitzgerald is a SS from IL I really like along with Nonie Williams and Gavin Lux. Ryan Zeferjahn is another local kid who deserves a look. Bailey Clark is a guy I like as a potential bullpen arm. Goo Brusa is the best SR bat so he’d be an easy sign. Lots of good talent this year, but all have question marks.
