Royals Top 60 Prospects: #6-1
You've waited, you've had sleepless night, you've dreamed of this day---who (or perhaps: in what order) are the Royals' Top 6 Prospects. If the Royals are to ever climb out of the deep dark hole they've dug, they will need some of these players to become stars--perhaps have one who can put up a few...
Royals Review Prospect Pulse: August
Sure enough, the List has changed this month with the additions of Tim Collins, Will Smith, Elisaul Pimentel and Lucas May. Only Collins cracks the Top 20, however. Several promotions this month: Moose, Hosmer, Lamb, Dwyer, Duffy (and others) all got moved up--and most did quite well. It seems...
Royals Top 30 Prospects: #12-7
Here are prospects #12-7. This is where things get really fun as we get to players who you can dream on some. The next installment will, of course, cover #6-1. Unfortunately, it won't happen next week because I will be out of the country all week. So look for it in 2 weeks. You can probably...
Royals Review Prospect Pulse: September
The minor league season is wrapping up with some of the short season clubs already finished. The big news with this list is the ascension of Mike Montgomery to the #1 spot. I flip-flopped him and Hosmer but eventually decided if a list that is charting performance through the year is worth...
Monday Morning Royals Links: John Lamb Shines
Last night Idaho Falls pitcher John Lamb struck out 10 batters, against just one walk and three hits allowed. Here's to my first ever non-ironic "trust the process". Perhaps appropriately, it's minor league pitcher day here on the RR links. Below you'll find features on Mike Montgomery and Disco...
Royals Links: Heading to Baltimore Edition
I'd really like to attend a Royals-Orioles game in Baltimore this week, but I'm not sure it's in the cards. You can read up on the Baltimore accent here or here, a minor obsession of mine at the moment. How come KC never got a distinct city accent? Or is there one? The Royal Tower: Rising and...
Royals Minor League Roundtable: An Improving, But Far From Finished Player Development System
Now, more than ever, the ability of the Royals player development system to produce both stars and useful Major Leaguers, stands out as the question dictating the viability of the Moore regime. Last week, I contacted two Royals bloggers who follow the minors closely, as well our own RR contributor...
Royals Review Prospect Pulse: June
Things get a lot more interesting this month in the prospect pulse. One of our top prospects bounce back from a difficult first month and a couple of our top pitching prospects make their full season debut. Later this month, our short season affiliates will start playing. The best part of minor...
Royals Review Prospect Pulse
The Minor League season starts tomorrow! If you are like me, in mid-season, after a hard Royals' loss, you can take solace finding a Royals prospect who had a good night that night. What you will see now is pretty much a prospect list. What I hope will be interesting is checking in on a month...
