With the draft just a week away, and the Royals owning the first pick, the Star reported yesterday that the Royals are showing late interest in Luke Hochevar, a former Tennessee stand out who was 15-3 with a 2.26 ERA in 19 starts last season. But not so fast. He's represented by Scott Boras. The Dodgers drafted him last year and then offered him $2.8 million, but he refused it. After our dealings with Boras regarding Carlos Beltran, I can't see the Royals wanting to do that again.
According to the article, Andrew Miller, a lefty from North Carolina appears to be the Royals' first preference. They are also showing interest in Brad Lincoln from Houston. But all bets could be off if Baird is fired and replaced by Moore.
