my baseball friend told us in ST that KC has far and away the best farm system in MLB.
They showed their last 6 or 7 first-round pick last night, and it looked like they hit the jackpot on nearly all of them.
2005 - Alex Gordon (starting at 3B, 27)
2006 - Luke Hochevar (starting RHP, 27)
2007 - Mike Moustakas (AAA SS, 22)
2008 - Mike Montgomery (AAA LHP, 21)
2008 - Eric Hosmer (starting at 1B, 21)
2009 - Aaron Crow (starting RHP, 24)
2010 - Christian Colon (AA SS, 21)
I'd say that their talent evaluation people know what they're doing.
