I've been worried that JBJ sees a lot of time at the expense of Olivares and each new development takes us one step further down that path. It's the Royal Way.
In other Royal news, MJ Melendez will not be playing LF as previously thought, but RF! I think that's the right spot for him cause he has that cannon for an arm. He was playing RF for Puerto Rico in the WBC and looked plenty capable out there. He went 3 for 15 in the WBC, a double and two singles, walked 4 times and K's 8 times. Not amazing but not a big deal. I'm looking for 33 bombs out of MJ and 95 RBIs. Quote:

Christian Pache is being DFA'd by the A's, I'd be surprised if the Royals didn't move on that.

I think it's mainly that Moore is gone.

While there is some of that, I don’t get the lack of excitement. This is far and away, by a thousand miles, the most interesting royals team in the post WS core era. So basically the last 6 years. You have a guy who could be a super star if he keeps improving, a possible Ace who if he also keeps developing would be our first home grown guy in forever, the ultimate analytics hero in Vinny P who has all sorts of interesting statistical comparisons, and a bunch of guys like Melendez, waters, and Massey who are all going to play and all have some upside as well. Throw in some possible progress in the pitching department in general by switching coaches and who really knows what this team is capable of? Are they all going to work out? No, probably not. But at least it’s interesting to see what happens, which is far more interesting than watching Santana and Benetendi and Taylor play. It’s just weird to me everyone last year was like “let the kids play! We want to see the young guys!” And then the royals are by and large going to do exactly that and now so many are like “nah this is not exciting at all”. Like outside of the royals getting Juan Soto or some other pie in the sky scenario, I don’t know what people are wanting exactly.

I'm pretty damn excited for this year. So glad we got rid of Dayton and his dumb shit manager.

This is excited as Ive been for a while. Finally get to see all of our young players play. Just Jackie Bradley blocking ppl...but Im hoping once Waters gets healthy he's DFA fodder. I mean Im not expecting to win, but it will be a fun season when I decide I want to re-log into the Ballys app.
