Holy Cow! Royals took Melville! That's a big statement that they are ready to spend some cash.
I heard he dropped from the 1st round because he sent a letter out to the big leagues clubs telling them not to draft him because he was going to college. Hopefully the Royals can talk him out of that, or it was a waste of a pick.

Yep, he wants top 20 money. Obviously the Royals knew that going in so they are either prepared to meet it or think he is bluffing.
It will cost the Royals at least 1.5 to sign him...unless he gets the home team discount.
That should be a no brainer for a potential #2 starter. A first round talent in the 4th round is a pretty valuable draft. Think of the riff raff teams pay $1.5 to at the big league level to round out a roster.
