If someone goes the piazza route and somehow becomes an all star, then that's great, teams need to get lucky with lower round guys every once in awhile. but c'mon, the odds of getting a piazza out of any of the guys above is incredibly low.Nellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993104684105764252.post-80418542916606345122010-10-25T22:36:30.804-05:002010-10-25T22:36:30.804-05:00There's no reason to write the other guys off,...There's no reason to write the other guys off, I mean when was Piazza drafted?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993104684105764252.post-4637617814005493602010-10-25T15:28:06.793-05:002010-10-25T15:28:06.793-05:00While we seem to have fewer outfield prospects, I ...While we seem to have fewer outfield prospects, I would rather keep myers at catcher for awhile because we can't assume that perez will be a major leaguer. It will be easier to acquire outfield talent that is already major league ready. Legitimate catching prospects are harder to come by, therefore you need to have greater catching prospect depth in hopes of finding your everyday player. That still doesnt mean myers will ultimately be capable of being a major league catcher though. Outside of myers and perez, royals fans have to hope that lucas may can combine his athleticism with more plate discipline and than jin ho shin can overcome a slow professional start. For the rest of the guys, we have to hope they can progress to a point where they can become minor trade chips or AAAA players that can contribute to the big club in small stretches.Nellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993104684105764252.post-21755125173616383162010-10-25T09:36:55.482-05:002010-10-25T09:36:55.482-05:00I would actually prefer to see Myers moved to the ...I would actually prefer to see Myers moved to the outfield.

As for Lucas May, after watching him in the big leagues I wasn't overly impressed to say the least. I have seen too many Royals K'd by the down and away breaking ball (cough cough Alex Gordon) and Lucas May could not lay off of it, seemed to me that he swung at everything and had a low contact rate.
