***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.

These Royals didn't prove spring training doesnt mean anything. They've done the several years in a row. Spring training is preseason football. It tells you nothing.

Thanks for making my point; feeling good about the Royals because of their record in Spring training is wrong. Why? Because when it comes time for "for keeps" the other teams pitch, hit, catch, and all that other important baseball shit...

Because this, right here (especially 5-9 in our lineup) can be much harder to watch. But at least we'll know what we have and hopefully our top brass now has the wisdom and the freedom to draft their way into a regular small market contender. But that will take a while if both Dayton's bats and arms turn out to be a bust.
dont we already know what we have ?

This year was never about winning. It's about development. I'll reserve my judgement for the end of the season. Right now we have 2 guys that are looking pretty damn good. It's early, but Witt is striking out less and walking more than last year which is a very good sign. His EV and Hardhit% are also both higher than last year.

I have faith that MJ Melendez is going to go on a tear pretty soon. He has hardhit% of 69% and his EV is 97.3, both of those are substantially higher than league average. He's just gotten super unlucky. If he can get his strikeout% down around where he was last year, then I think he can really do some damage.

MJ

It's not some type of heavily argued debate or even a remotely original thought, because no one ever thought that spring training mattered and it was proven along time ago that it doesn't.

I hope Bally Sports realizes that few people are going to sign-up for this show.

KC Star still has no full time beat writer to cover the Royals?

JFC yes the Royals are bad but a bad look by the KC Star.

Letting Bubic pitch with a bad arm is a fireable offense.

Whether or not Bubic was told to throw 75 more pitches after reporting tightness in his forearm would be a good question for someone in that position, I'd think.

Were you one of those who thought we saw all we needed from Mike Moustakas at the start of 2014?
