***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.

Yeah...I have no stat argument. He just has that good energy. Sometimes guys defy the analytics (Escobar). Isbel just seems to be a spark plug.

Shoutout to Mike Matheny for all the pointless mileage he put on the arms of Staumont, Brentz and Barlow.

Vinnie Pasquantino is showing that he is gonna be the best hitter on this team since Brett. Up to .900 OPS after tonight.

Vinnie has a great swing and is very patient. I love what I'm seeing by him at the plate.

I’m gonna stand by what I said earlier. Leave MJ, Witt, Vinnie and Salvy alone in the lineup. Maybe leave Olivares at 5, and play your analytics games with the back half.

Vinnie is fun.

Top half of the lineup is acceptable, but the bottom half might not even be major league caliber.

Would it kill the owners to at least try to put a semi-competitive product on the field? Do they really expect fans to be patient with the 7,000th youth movement (comprised of mostly mediocre prospects), just to see the top players go elsewhere as soon as they make it?

Dozier, Reyes, and Bradley Jr are not "youth!" They are not even very good! This new coaching staff has me plenty worried...

They've used it 19 times already, notably rolling it out against Joey Gallo. He hit a hard grounder right to the shifted-in MJ Melendez, but Melendez booted it LOL.

Here are the two tweets from Tom Tango, a well-known sabermetrician that apparently now has the title of MLB data architect.



The fangraphs article attempts to determine how optimal this is, but they wouldn't have the proprietary data that the Royals would, so it can only be a guess. No other team has used it at all and they would have the same data as the Royals though. Time will tell if the Royals have just started a whole new thing.

In any event, MJ Melendez best get to work on his groundball fielding! Perhaps soon, fielding hot grounders will be a main requirement of a RF.

As cavernous as Kaufman is, this seems like one of the worst ball parks to do it in.

Can't really blame the new coaching staff for these guys on the team. Doesn't mean we can't point the finger at Picollo though.

So after 12 games, what we know is this?:

1. Salvy is the GOAT and producing at a higher level than any of us though he would this late in his career
2. Melendez is good, not Salvy good, and struggling a bit right now but we believe he'll be fine
3. Pasquatino is going to be a stud
4. We aren't sure if Pratto died or if we'll ever see him again. In the meantime Reyes can bomb but strikes out a lot
5. Massey isn't ready for this yet but can still be serviceable down the road. And we know what we have in Nicky Lopez and let a computer figure out when and where to play them and everybody else
6. Dozier blows, but we've always known this
7. BWJ is a multi-generational talent
8. We can play Matt Duffy anywhere but he also can't really hit so computer
9. Still hope for Isbel, Olivares if the rest of your team is really good (which ours isn't), Nate Eaton not so much, Reyes gets the computer to tell us when he might have a good game, but still don't worry because Drew Waters.
10. Greinke is as good as he's ever been, and we're glad he's closing out his career here
11. Lyles is as good as advertised but when we are ready to compete we'll need better
12. Maybe this coaching staff can actually fix/ better support Singer, Bubic, Keller and Hernandez to succeed. And now hope again for Lacy and others in the minors.
13. We fixed Chapman
14. Old regime killed Barlow, Staumont and probably a couple others


Did I miss anything?
