It’s Never Too Early to Talk About the Draft – Local College Prospects
The region includes some real talent in the college ranks this season, with a pair of teams carrying multiple draft prospects. I’ve already written a little about the pair of possible 1st round prospects in Alec Bohm and Greyson Jenista from Wichita State, but they’re not the only highly ranked pairing in the area. As with […]
Minor League Roster Breakdown
The Royals released their minor league rosters on Monday for the full season squads. Other than some injury announcements, the rosters weren’t that surprising. The rosters have quite a few players repeating the Double-A level, although there are some interesting repeats of other levels as well. Instead of going through each roster which you can find on milb.com, I thought […]
It’s Never Too Early to Discuss the Draft – Pool Allotments Announced
MLB announced the draft and international pools for 2018 prior to opening day and as expected the Royals have the largest draft pool among the 30 teams with a total allotment of $12,781,900. When adding in the 10% overage teams are allowed without incurring a penalty, it gives the Royals just north of $14,000,000 to spend on […]
Moore’s legacy in KC more than titles
The national media and baseball community has grabbed onto a story this offseason about the Royals involvement in fighting what they call the “new drug” in pornography and done to it what some who watch too much porn may do (you can use your imagination). That’s a story that national outlets with little background in this […]
It’s Never Too Early to Discuss the Draft – Griffin Roberts and More Notes
Wake Forest starter Griffin Roberts put on a show Friday night against the 12th-ranked Louisville Cardinals, showing a rough start the week prior against Florida State was likely just a blip on the radar. The well built 6-3, 215-pound right-handed starter unleashed one of if not the best breaking pitch in the draft class with […]
It’s Never Too Early to Discuss the Draft – Sunshine Starters
Helium, that’s a word one hears quite a bit of this time of year. It usually applies to the prospects that have started to show some a change in their game while drawing more eyes from scouts and front office officials to their games. It tends to flow in waves with the warm weather prospects and college guys grabbing […]
It’s Never Too Early to Discuss the Draft – Jarred Kelenic
There is not likely to be a prospect in this year’s upcoming draft who brings five-tool potential to the table the way that this Wisconsin gym rat does. The product of his father’s indoor training facilities, the same facilities that former Wisconsin Badgers defensive lineman J.J. Watt has trained in. With access to those facilities at his […]
2018, A Year to Decide
On Sunday, Logan Morrison signed with the Minnesota Twins for a relatively fair value considering his track record and the current market. That move by a local player, who has stated on multiple times this offseason that he would like to sign in Kansas City, made a statement that Royals management isn’t looking to make […]
