12. Kansas City Royals Pitching they’ve got, thanks to a bumper crop of college pitchers selected in 2018 that should start to impact the major-league roster this year. The position player group lags well behind, with some very talented players in the system who have not converted their physical gifts into production yet, led by the troika of high-profile hitters — Nick Pratto, MJ Melendez and Seuly Matias — who struggled in High-A Wilmington last year, even as the parade of future rotation regulars passed through Delaware (paying a $4 toll). |

Looks like a bomb sniffing dog had a false alarm on a vehicle in the parking lot

Epic SABR takedown of Eric Hosmer by Dan Symborski:
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-padr...-base-problem/ Essentially he was negative WAR value his two years. The only player in the last 35 years of data who had two awful years and got a 3rd year as a FT regular, Roger Cedeno, lost his job afterwards. It’s a series of stats, but boy is that contract a Pujols-level albatross. ZiPS now predicts his next 6 years will be worth 1.8 wins. TOTAL. |

Yeah, that was a bullet dodged. The fall-off has been really rapid.
His stubborness about his hitting approach is incredibly frustrating and something I'd be watching for with draft prospects for the rest of time. |

Eric Hosmers #1 problem is thinking his brother is a better hitting coach than dudes employed in the MLB, he does not listen to anyone where if he was more coachable he'd probably be a lot better.
