***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.

And trades him at his absolute lowest value..which is likely what will also happen with Barlow, it's just dumb shit like that..

Or that Jackson Kowar is basically not a MLB worthy player..or that Asa Lacey is pure shit or Gavin Cross being off to a crap ass start.

I can't imagine why this isn't going well..keepi.g Piccolo basically kills optimism because it's not viewed as starting over.

And if you go look at Bobby Witt Jrs career projection for what he's done so far in his career you get...Omar Infante...no joke.
Ive compared his offense and athletic ability to Jeff Francoer. Very similar. He seems to have more power than Infante, Strikeout way more than him, and BWJ is worse at defense but I see the similarities as far as production.

Vinnies .863 OPS is 40th in the AL.

Ronald Acuna Jr leads the AL in WAR. And fun fact, Maikel Garcia is his cousin.

So is Alcides Escobar and Acuna was at Royals spring training when he was 16.

Quote:
Yet on a spring day four years ago, the best prospect in baseball was working out at the Royals’ facility in Surprise, Ariz. His name was Ronald Acuña, and he had come as a guest of shortstop Alcides Escobar, his older cousin. He wished to hit before a group of club officials.

Acuña was not the best prospect in baseball at this point, of course. He was 16 years old. He stood a pencil-thin 5-foot-10. He was maybe 150 pounds. But for one day at spring training, he ran, hit and threw in front of Francisco, the Royals’ assistant general manager for international operations. Escobar lobbied Francisco to sign his cousin.

In the weeks after the workout, Acuña remained interested in the Royals. His father, Ron Sr., had watched Escobar, his first cousin, grow up in La Sabana, a coastal town in Venezuela. Their mothers were sisters. For a time, Escobar said, the families lived together.

On the morning of July 2, 2014, the first day of the international signing period, Acuña woke up ready to sign a professional contract. In an interview with Baseball America last summer, he said he initially expected to sign with Kansas City.

“I was going to sign with the Royals,” Acuña said, according to the publication. “But that same day, the Braves called and offered me more money. So I decided to sign with the Braves.”

The signing bonus was reported to be $100,000; the total was less than what nearly 200 international players signed for that year, according to Baseball America. The best international prospects routinely sign for seven-figure bonuses or more.

The Royals did submit an offer, but like most teams in baseball, Acuña was not a priority. Maybe he would develop, Francisco thought. But his lack of power would likely push him to the infield. In the end, they ended up being outbid.
