Actually was very similar. Their three straight 100+ loss seasons were probably worse, even, than the Royals 2005-2007 stretch. Houston did a better job drafting and developing during that timeframe than Moore’s group. And even they had the colossal miss of drafting Mark Appel instead of Kris Bryant. Luhnow is a wizard. Which I think Cardinals fans (and maybe the former Cardinals employee who hacked the Astros) are realizing. |

Sure, helps to have a lotto ticket like Altuve become a HOF level player also. |

@RoyalsFarm: Seuly Matias was compared to Ronald Acuna Jr., and seemingly no one*noticed http://royalsfarmreport.com/2018/04/...o-one-noticed/ https://twitter.com/RoyalsFarm/statu...986176/photo/1

Matias is very, very talented naturally. Early returns on him tapping into that talent are great.
I was a little cautious about him coming into the year, because the Royals’ track record with LA bats isn’t tremendous. |

I’m very interested in Kennedy’s start tonight. I’m hoping his good start to the year isn’t because of the frigid temps.

The Royals have been awful at drafting for a surprising amount of time |

Only exception I'd take with that article is at the end about 3 years of losing because they were in contention most of the year those past few years but yea. The draft part is accurate and alarming.
