The Royals wouldn't have to draft the third best Boras client as number one. They could have traded down and still get the same player. Wouldn't that be more power to the Royals? The Royals could have auctioned away the pick to rich teams that could have afforded Wieters or Porcello, instead of being kidnapped by Boras.
That way, the smaller teams will be bullied by Boras less not more. The Royals could have had Moustakas and then some.
This article just doesn't make much sense.
