Sometimes, they’ve been defendable. This is not. They need to “find out” on Hunter Dozier this year. That means he needs everyday ABs. |

Why are Owings & Duda on this team? Please go away. |

Owings I understand, he’s a year removed from being a decent hitter and can play all over... Duda hasn’t been a league average player in along time, Andy O’Hearn has the same skill set. I’d rather have Frank the tank out there. |

Planning to go to a game in Omaha. Need some advice on some members who actually have gone to the game there.
Deciding if I should get a Diamond Club or Club tickets. What is the difference? Any perks to either one? |

Any updates on possible draft picks? I’m hoping there are two can’t miss prospects out there.
|
Far and away my favorite moment of the weekend was the matchup between Burr and Hamilton. The guys on radio had some fun with that.
Good weekend any time you win a series, but the pitching's gonna screw us hard. |
Any chance we move Lovelady up quick? Him, Zimmer and Kennedy wouldn't be horrible IMO.

Oregon State C Adley Rutschman has separated himself as the best prospect but there is question about whether a team will take him first overall because C play less and have higher injury risk than other position players. In addition to having elite upside defensively, Rutschman has been the top college hitter this year. Cal 1B Andrew Vaughn has emerged as my personal favorite. He has been a consistent force in college, putting up career numbers that rival/exceed those of recent college superstar bats like Kris Bryant. He has the ability to hit for a high average, with good plate discipline and OBP skills, and plus power. He’s likely limited to 1B as a pro, which might cause the Royals to pass on him. There are several elite high school prospects jockeying for position at the top, too. Bobby Witt Jr has fallen down rankings a bit due to questions about his hit tool but is still in the mix. CJ Abrams is another name I’ve seen connected to KC. He’s a speedy SS with developing power. The Orioles have an all-new front office, so it’s hard to predict where they will go. |
A bit cold yesterday, but sunny and no wind. Nobody at the game yesterday. Royals have new promos for $5beer and cheaper concessions, the staff practically jumps at you to help answer questions.
Sad our fans abandoned the franchise. Gotta win a WS to draw |
The Royals have a spot on their 40 man roster which will likely go to Homer Bailey who is scheduled to start Wednesday's game. But, the Royals will have to move someone off the 25 man roster. I've narrowed it down to two; either Barlow or McCarthy could be optioned to Omaha. Any other possibilities?

You absolutely do add some veterans if you’re in tank/rebuild mode, with an eye on flipping them at the deadline. The key is not blocking any young players who are MLB ready. Duda does that, Owings does that, if they’re taking ABs away from O’Hearn or Dozier. They would trade Merrifield if someone pushed forward the right offer, but I don’t believe it came. With the way teams now hoard prospects, it is going to get harder for teams to justify trading players with lots of control just because the window is still several years off. The lack of success of recent tankers like the White Sox also offers a cautionary tale. What they got for a player very similar to Merrifield has not really impressed. |

Meh on Finnegan’s return.
He didn’t do a good job staying in shape after his initial debut, he chafed at being relegated to the pen, and his stuff regressed. He also trash talked the Royals on the way out, then fell flat on his face. If he’s willing to apologize and accept being a bullpen guy, cool. Would have to show some change to get this front office believing again, though. |

Duncan, if the Royals get off to a hot start over the next couple of weeks. Why not sign Keuchel or Kimbrel? They could still trade them right? Would there be a negative? |

Not sure either is willing to take a one year deal, but if you can get Glass to approve an extra $20 million in payroll, sure you do it. |

Not a Royals thing but it has a little Royals flavor and I love when athletes get pissed and go off.
With the Padres up 2-0 and hitting Grienke pretty good, they get the first two hitters on in the 2nd and proceed to let the pitcher swing away. Grienke is visibly pissed at the obvious insult. Since then he’s K’d 10 of 12 outs and hit 2 HR’s driving in 4. Man, I love that crazy ****er sometimes. |

absolutely pathetic... our young star plays his heart out, and the worst free agent signing in royals' history, banished to the bullpen, cannot record outs vs. 2 batters he was ahead of 0-2 in the count.

This bullpen is going to lose 60+ games by itself.

One of the things that made the '14-'15 pens so dominant was the differential between the junk-baller starting pitchers and the hard throwing late inning relievers.
Kennedy in middle relief makes sense. |
