***Official 2023 Royals Season Repository Thread***



2023 – A new beginning for the Royals. Matt Quatraro era begins. A year to see which of our young players will make up the core going forward. Can Bobby Witt Jr become a superstar SS or will go to the hot corner? Will Brady Singer take the next step forward? Will Salvy be Salvy? Will Big Vin or Pratto take first base? Will they find a position for MJ? Who else emerges from the youth movement? Not to mention the development of the new downtown stadium.

I just can't get that excited about international signings. 16 year old. That's a long ass time before they are ready.

Feeling a little better about the pitching now with Zach back in the fold...
Pitching might be a strength for us this year

I have a feeling a new pitching coach will do wonders for Daniel Lynch. He would show lots of flashes and then one bad inning would do him in and always got worse when Cal came out.

The fact that AJ Preller and the Padres were on him is reason to be optimistic. Preller is one of the best international scouting evaluators in the game.

Wish they would just come out and say East Village. Even though they probably have to grease the dirty politician wheels for the other sides to get them support the East Village site.

The Athletic's Keith Law ranks the Royals' farm system No. 16 in baseball.

https://theathletic.com/4138444/2023...urce=twitterhq

16. Kansas City Royals

The Royals placed just one guy on my top 100, but I love the depth in this system and its capacity for a big improvement overall in the next year. The class of high school pitchers they took in 2021 hasn’t made its mark yet, but the top two guys they took, lefty Frank Mozzicato and righty Ben Kudrna, still have the same upside the Royals saw in high school — they aren’t all Andrew Painters. There’s some catching depth, some outfield depth, a lot of athletes, and some more arms than I mentioned. It’s a big challenge for the Royals’ player development group, but also means they could make a big move in the next 12 months — and they’ve done some great stuff with hitting prospects in the past two years.

They're holding off on making the Greinke deal official which means someone is probably getting moved.

I went ahead and did the 3-pack to snatch opening day tickets as well. I assume you won't be able to get opening day after tickets go on sale to the general public tomorrow

I'm glad that someone with the gravitas of Keith Law is saying this...because despite the top-level talent deficiency (mainly due to graduating our best in '22), I've never understood the idea that the system is devoid of talent. There are some really interesting guys that have the potential to shoot up the prospect lists, depending on their 2023.

Big L for the Royals. What happened to those City Connect unis? Those were legit. Bought myself a City Connect Royals hat, I did. It was $52.

Relax. Those are just the opening day uniforms. I mean, they’ll wear them some in 2023 but the CC uniforms will be worn at times this season.
