There is no bullpen to bail out this strategy. There is no temp suppression in HR either. |

Aren’t we leading the Carolina league in walks this year?

I think advanced metrics are useful, but obviously incomplete if they can't take into account different approaches. |

Your weird hatred of Seuly Matias as a prospect is weird. Player A - 19 | 22 HR, .805 OPS, 9 % walk rate Player B - 19 | 5 HR, .734 OPs, 14% walk rate Player C - 19 | 52 HR, .908 OPS, 9 % walk rate Matias is one of those three players, and it probably is pretty obvious (stats for him are pace stats). The other 2 were also royals prospects at full season A ball at age 19. He needs to work on cutting strikeouts down, for sure. But there’s no reason to call him out as a sign of problems with the Royals system. Plenty of other targets for that... Last edited by duncan_idaho; 07-02-2018 at 10:11 AM.. |

@RoyalsFarm: According to @BaseballAmerica, the Royals have signed SS prospects Wilmin Candelario and Omar Florentino to international free agent deals. Both are switch hitters. Candelario is as smooth a defender as I’ve seen at his age. Omar Florentino was BA’s #18 overall int’l FA Prospect.

Real prize internationally is victor victor Mesa (Not to be confused with his bro victor Mesa jr), a Cuban defector who probably is a day 1 top 50 prospect. Royals might have enough in their pool for him... orioles have the most and are best positioned... but never spend internationally. |

He’s a really top end prospect and probably ready for assignment to High A or AA. Profile sounds similar to Victor Robles. From what I’ve read, he’d be top 50 on most lists immediately and could be top 20 by year end if he hits the ground running. |

Brad Keller has taken over for Jake Junis as the 2018 “only reason I’m still watching” recipient. We have control of him until 2024 which is super nice. Let’s just hope he doesn’t pull an Andy Sisco (great rookie year on a historically bad Royals team who then proceeded to do nothing).

Junis loading the bases for Lindor is ... suboptimal.
