Royals Top 60 Prospects: #6-1
You've waited, you've had sleepless night, you've dreamed of this day---who (or perhaps: in what order) are the Royals' Top 6 Prospects. If the Royals are to ever climb out of the deep dark hole they've dug, they will need some of these players to become stars--perhaps have one who can put up a few...
Royals Review Prospect Pulse: September
Here it is: the final Pulse of the year. The top hitters kept hitting but some of the pitchers hit the wall in August. This month, I've got Myers, Hosmer and Moustakas as the Top 3. Those three are so tightly ranked--in a Top 50 list of prospects, I'd have them with all within 5 or 6 slots of...
Royals Review Prospect Pulse: August
Sure enough, the List has changed this month with the additions of Tim Collins, Will Smith, Elisaul Pimentel and Lucas May. Only Collins cracks the Top 20, however. Several promotions this month: Moose, Hosmer, Lamb, Dwyer, Duffy (and others) all got moved up--and most did quite well. It seems...
Royals Top 30 Prospects: #12-7
Here are prospects #12-7. This is where things get really fun as we get to players who you can dream on some. The next installment will, of course, cover #6-1. Unfortunately, it won't happen next week because I will be out of the country all week. So look for it in 2 weeks. You can probably...
Wednesday Royals Links: Post-Greinke Edition
We're all still basking in the afterglow of Greinke's greatness. As an added bonus, I haven't read a Dayton Moore lecture or nonsensical excuse in like a day now. And, there's really cool links below! You may never work again, today, at least. Zack Greinke has club record 15 strikouts in 6-2 win...
Minor League Notes
Here are a few notes from around the Minors for the Royals: --As you know, the Royals spent around $1.3 million to sign Chelsor Cuthbert--who was ranked Baseball America's #7 international prospect. That blew away the Royals record for most spent on an int. signing (I think Jin Ho-Shin--the...
2009 Royals Draft Review
The Royals wrap up yet another draft today. I was pleased with the way it turned out but it was way different that what I was expecting. The Royals did not take a HS pitcher in the top 10 rounds--I would have wagered a large sum of money that the Royals would have taken at least a couple. But I...
Stephen Strasburg and those other guys
Matt Wieters wears Stephen Strasburg pajamas to bed. We've had some fun looking back at past drafts and their historical implications, now let's look at this upcoming draft class, starting with college pitchers. There's this guy named Stephen Strasburg that I hear is pretty good, and there will...
