On The Lamb
Heading out of the 2007 high school season, lefthander John Lamb looked like a possible first-round pick. That changed in February 2008, when Lamb was in a car accident. Lamb missed his senior season and dropped off many scouts' radar screens, but the Royals stayed on him, selected him in the fifth round of the 2008 draft and signed him for $165,000. Now he's the No. 7 prospect in the system.
