***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.

If you surround Bradfield with hitters (which the O's have) and tell him to just go get the ball and be a pest on the bases with 2023 rules, he could definitely be an asset.

If the Royals were staying at Kauffman, he would be a perfect fit for center.

There's currently one MLB catcher who averages better than a 1.85 pop time. Realmuto and that's it. You never know but he pretty clearly has elite power and an elite arm. It's not like they went cheap to take a middling light hitting 2B with speed. It's definitely a serious risk but I like it better than some other ways they could have gone.

Prep catchers hit at a terrible rate..you trust the Royals with that?

I'd have probably taken Matt Shaw but if I was trying to get as much underslot as possible for a plan Houck or Nimmala would have been high on my list. Really liked Tommy Troy also, any of them would have worked.

I honestly don't care about that. It'd be different if it was a prep pitcher for sure. That's a different beast. There aren't many prep catchers (or major league catchers) with that arm. Unless there's some program specific reason why someone isn't learning baseball or football a certain way, I don't see the logical reason why a HS catcher can't have success. Our player development worries me far more than the prep catcher thing. They obviously went for a guy with tools they want to try and coach up.

That was 10 years. Can’t always catch lightning in a bottle. Can’t discount the Greinke trade that facilitated much of that run

Weird. You always like power guys over a bunch of second baseman types.
