Good signs of the future as 6 Royal minor leaguers ended up on the Top 50 list.
Players and possible starting point and draft pick
#7 overall Mike Moustakas Omaha Storm Chasers 2007 #2 overall pick
#8 Eric Hosmer Omaha Storm Chasers 2008 #3 Overall pick
#14 Mike Montgomery NW Arkansas Naturals 2008 Supplemental pick
#16 Wil Myers NW Arkansas Naturals 2009 3rd Round pick
#34 John Lamb NW Arkansas Naturals 2008 5th Round pick
#37 Jake Odorizzi Wilmington Blue Rocks Aquired in the Zack Greinke trade
This is a sign of how far GMDM has taken the minor league system in a short time. Guys like Danny Duffy, Chris Dwyer, Christian Colon and Aaron Crow were probably not far behind and could also be heard of not too far down the road.

I think moustakas was a #2 pick and Hosmer #3. you have it the other way.
ReplyDeleteShould Hosmer switch positions too?

I wouldn't switch Hosmer until Kila proves to be for real at the major league system. A switch to the outfield is pretty easy and since Hosmer will be in Omaha all season anyway KC can move him midseason to OF if Kila is showing well.
