Grandal and Machado update: Yasmani Grandal went 2-3 with a double and a homer against Deck McGuire of Georgia Tech on Friday, who KLaw ranks as the #7 prospect in the draft. The rest of the lineup for the fifth-ranked Hurricanes went 4-27 with 9 Ks. Grandal followed that performance with a 2-4 Saturday with a double, homer, and walk. Grandal is now hitting .427/.548/.772 with 34 XBH (21 2Bs, 1 3B, and 12 HR), 44 BB, and 27 K on the season and is leading the ACC in hitting in conference games. I have limited stats on Manny Machado, but I know that he was hitting .689 on the season with 49 RBIs and 11 HRs in 61 ABs as of April 28th. He also went 2-3 with a HR and 3 RBIs in a playoff game. He unsurprisingly made the county's All-Star team and was the player of the year in his district. There's an article on him here. Those are the two I would want the Royals to draft, but if you want someone else, either post their stats or I can try to dig them up.
