In which case I could see them thinking, hey, we've got 12 guys maybe that we don't see a whole lot of difference.
Where do we feel like is the surest bet?
And I think that also articulates where the Royals feel like they are as an organization because.
Back here in these years, in this 18 to 20 range, I think the guys they should have been targeting was who's got the best chance of being great?
Who's got the best chance of being an all-star?
I don't know if the Royals are viewing it that way.
And at a younger age, too.
Yeah, first of all, they have certainly invoked the analytics.
I mean, you mentioned Daniel Mack.
His department, the weight of that department is heavier than it once was in the draft.
I mean, Brian Bridges even said at one point, like, look, I'm an old school scout, but if anyone doesn't recognize that the game's changed, you're going to fall behind.
Like, if you don't try to grow with it.
And I asked him specifically, I said, okay, can you give me an example?
And
That's when he mentioned, he said, there's a ton of swing and miss.
And he said, if you don't start calculating that and you draft a bunch of guys that are high ceiling, but they swing and miss a lot, it's never going to work.
And I think that because I specifically asked him about the first part of the game change and said, OK, how does that affect the pick you made today?
And that was his answer on that.
And I absolutely think that is different than the old school scout that might have seen the guy who's swinging and missing a lot, but they're like.
Yeah, but this guy just put up 25 homers.
