***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.

The Orioles do a good job of it, but it's also the scouting strategy is being implemented by former execs during the Astros dynasty under Jeff Luhnow.

Colton Cowser was a below slot signing at fifth overall in the 2021 draft. He will make his major league debut today after posting a .996 OPS in Triple-A.

The O's took Heston Kjerstad second overall in 2020 and he's finally producing after being setback by injuries.

But with their second pick in 2020, they took Jordan Westburg overslot and he just made his major league debut. He has a chance to be a first division regular in the infield.

The Orioles know what they're doing and the Royals don't is basically all this is...like they flipped Jorge Lopez into 2 legit players the Royals can't manage to do anything like that.

The Royals have one of the 5 worst minor league systems in baseball according to every source out there. While at the same time having a terrible MLB team and their response is to literally fire 1 guy.

Exactly!

Nobody knew who the hell Yennier Cano was before this year. He's now a setup man pitching in the All-Star Game.

Why didn't they completely clean house? What have they shown to warrant keeping?

My guess is because that is very expensive and to this point John Sherman has shown he is cheap.

To put a GM in place that knows what he is doing would require likely firing every single person in the front office, all of the minor league people etc etc..that is expensive when you are then going to need to hire the people he wants while still paying everyone else.

I'd like to hear who people really hope we take with the eighth pick.

Let's assume the big five (Crews, Skenes, Langford, Clark, and Jenkins ) are gone, who would be the next three players you'd want?

I'll offer my next three picks: Teel, Lowder, and Dollander.

I really like Teel. Matt Shaw from Maryland is a college bat I find really interesting. If I'm taking a pitcher, Dollander is worth taking a swing on (viewed as potential 1.1 entering the season).

If they dip for a HS bat, my favorite guy is Arjun Nimmala (other than Max Clark and Walker Jenkins). He's the youngest top guy in the class, which matters.

Hurston Waldrep is another college pitcher worth considering, I think. The Florida ace is nasty and has a good present fastball-splitter-slider combo. The splitter is a split-change, so it's offspeed.

There's some talk Jenkins could drop as teams may not be as high on him as the scouting community is.

If things go as expected Matt Shaw is someone I like, a second baseman with a really high end bat profile.

If they go to save some money I'd prefer Tommy Troy over Bradfield, Troy profiles as a guy who can hit where Bradfield might legit be Billy Hamilton and I get all the oh elite defense and stolen bases equals war shit but a dude hitting 215 isn't that helpful as an everyday player.

I do not remotely trust this team to use a top 10 pick on a pitcher, I just don't.

Also wanted to add Heasley was throwing 98 out of the pen yesterday so maybe he actually has an MLB spot as a 1 inning guy.

But the main problem is still there, there really is nothing as far as starters go..Alec Marsh is probably a reliever too.
