A lot of the points in what I have compiled are PP points and MP is sitting with a very favourable +/- which supports the thought that he's a very team first type of player. He's the motor for the Royals right now, all of the above is very promising stuff for sure.
If anyone in the Flames is a true dark horse to twist the coaching staffs arm next summer it's this pick IMO, Phillips is my dark horse prospect pick all day. |
I also watch a number of Royals games and have to concur that MP is a great dark horse pick. I still have some concerns with his size though and that is likely why he went in the 6th round.
