Hultzen was projected by almost 60% of the mock drafts to go #3 to Arizona so going #2 shouldn’t be that big of a surprise/shock.

I’m so elated about Bubba. He was the top athlete with the most upside in the draft and he’s exactly the type of player KC should be targeting given their circumstances and where their farm system is at.

Hultzen going early was a shocker. Bauer to Arizona wasn’t a surprise, but I still had hope they’d bpass. Now I have to hope the Orioles pass up Bundy.

Rendon vs. Bubba may be the decision.

The Royals are guaranteed to have one of Trevor Bauer, Dylan Bundy, Anthony Rendon and Bubba available to them. Can’t really lose, though I don’t know about Rendon and his injuries.
