The Orioles have a shot to really distance themselves from us this weekend.

Speaking of the Herrera trade. We've talked about how Gutierrez is doing well, but Perkins just drew his 90th walk of the year. By far the most BB in A ball. Very un-Royals like.

Get out of here with your jokes. It's just too easy to pick on us when were down. Hell I don't care that much watching the Royals for the last 15-20 years will make you kinda numb to the losing. At least we have several young guys playing rather well and several that could be well on their way in the next couple of years. Life of a Royals fan, a much more interesting minor league season than major league season. You a Royals fan?

You know I just saw the average age of a baseball fan is 57 years old, that's an issue.

There's a full season of ball yet to play.
I'd say Rutschman has a little more volatility due to his relatively recent arrival on the 'premier prospect' scene. If Witt struggles next spring, I would expect it to get chalked up to 'senioritis' and his stock wouldn't change much. But with college bats, especially those that kinda burst onto the scene, scouts look for reasons to discount them. If Rutschman doesn't have a year similar to last seasons, he'll fall harder than he would have as a prep prospect. I'm not sure it makes a damn bit of sense, but it sure seems to be the reality of it. |

I'll take the college catcher. I have very little faith in this organization to mold a high school player into a star. The college catcher should come in more refined and less likely to pick up bad habits and traits from our poor minor league development.
