If it's Atlanta and the Angels, that sounds reasonable. Obviously not if it's the Cardinals, Pirates or Dodgers.

Review of top KC prospects:
Mondesi (#1, #43 MLB, #22 BA, #56 Sickels) - just turned 19 (extremely young for level), struggling offensively in high-A ball, toolsy, with excellent bat speed, should stay at SS
Manaea (#3, #74 MLB, #69 Sickels) - 22YO in high-A, has performed well, albeit with some command issues, was consensus top 5 pick before late hip injury, profiles as #2 starter
Dozier (#4, #93 MLB, #39 BA, #68 Sickels) - turns 23 in a month, struggling in AA after performing very well in high-A ball, should stay at 3B, profiles as middle-of-the-order hitter assuming power continues to develop
Almonte (#5) - 21YO in high-A ball, has two above-average pitches and good command, if he develops a third pitch, could be a middle-of-the-rotation starter
Binford (#8) - 21YO in AA, groundball pitcher, excellent command, average fastball, needs to develop third pitch, profiles as middle-of-the-rotation starter if everything breaks right and a solid reliver otherwise
(Zimmer is hurt and is therefore not included)

Nick Kingham is a very interesting name from the Pirates. Outside of Miller there are other players we have that Pittsburgh may be interested in.
