So Let's Hammer Out This Sexist & Cliched Analogy About Moose & Hosmer
Thought #1: Wow, so like, Moose or Hosmer is sorta like the "Ginger or Maryann" question for Royals fans these days. At the very least I should tweet this. Maybe it's a whole post. Hmm. Thought #2: Could we take it further? I'm old enough to remember the brief but real "Aniston or Cox" query from...
Who Will Be the Royal of This Decade?
This decade, not next decade. Damn, it's 2010... So who will be the Royal of this decade? We don't have a clear candidate at this point. Zack Greinke: Will likely be awesome for 2010 and 2011 as a Royal. Although it's uncertain how much of the decade he'll spend with us. Joakim Soria: Has a...

Back in March, I gave my prediction of what the Royals Top 20 Prospects would look like at the end of the season. So before I start into my real 2010 Royals Prospect List, I thought I would look back and see how my prognostications went. I'll repost the article with my new comments in bold and...
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...
Royals Review Prospect Pulse: July
Minor League season is in full swing with the Royals having 7 affiliates (plus their Dominican team) up and running. The short season guys have just a few innings/at bats under their belts so beware sample size. We have a special emphasis on our international players this month. We've invested...

AL Central Top 50 Prospects

Kevin Goldstein Ranks the Royals System 16th Overall
Goldstein pegs the Royals at 16th, right in the middle of the pack, though up from last season's rank of 22nd: 16. Kansas City Royals Last Year's Ranking: 22 Why They Might Be Better Than This: We haven't seen what Eric Hosmer is capable of in a full season; Kila Ka'aihue's tremendous 2008...
Baseball America Prospect Hot Sheet: Mike Moustakas & Matt Wieters
This week's Hot Sheet is lead by Kansas Royals' 2007 1st round pick, Mike Moustakas. After a one HR April with a slashstat line of 190/253/226, his celing looked a lot lower. Now he has 20 HRs in his first full season and has a slashstat line of 267/330/472 in the hitter unfriendly Midwest...
