***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.

It's also funny to me that a bad farm system can supposedly risk blowing a top 10 pick so they can draft more guys later...

Dude has a rocket launcher on his arm. He has talent. You run him out there with Rusty Kuntz every day if that's what it takes to put him at a position where his arm can be a weapon. There is no way you put an arm like that at 1B.

This is an excellent point, but it's hard to compliment the Royals for playing the odds when they take a HS catcher with the strategy.

I just hope they were blown away with Mitchell's bat when they made the pick.

His absolute upside is Kyle Schwarber...arm doesn't make up for his lack of running ability.

Melendez isn't good in the OF and he's a far better athlete.

Regardless of what has been said by others here, I think he sticks at catcher.

Personally I don't think the Royals have earned the ability to make this pick...with their system and MLB roster to go ahead and use your top 10 on something that hits at about the same rate as prep right handers.

Maybe they wanna build a stadium that looks like Yankee stadium downtown so these big lefty bats are locks for 30 HRs.

If I were this kid I wouldn’t sign with the Royals and would just go to LSU. Career trajectory has a better chance

When your bottom 3 in systems with a terrible MLB team as well you can't botch a top 8 pick to save money..

So Baltimore takes Bradfield which means he'll end up way better than projected.
