A Look Back at Dayton Moore's First Draft
Dayton Moore was hired shortly before the 2006 Draft, and the official story has always been that he recused himself from that enterprise. I've always found that a little hard to believe, but then again, the role of the GM on Draft Day is typically overstated by fans. It's really a day for the...
MLB Draft Deadline Signing Day Roundup: Starling Signs and Royals Spend Big
Everyone woke up feeling good this morning, as the Royals did what they needed to do, signing most of their key pieces. The highest pick who spurned the Royals was 8th round selection Evan Beal, who choose to head to South Carolina. (Shakes fist.)Of course, the biggest news of the night was...
Royals Prospects Progress Report
Another two months have passed, so it is time for another Progress Report. Like last time, I used NWRoyal's top 65 prospect list heading into the season, and assign them grades. These grades are cumulative, with some changing dramatically since the beginning of the...

Below is a full scouting report on Eric Hosmer by Baseball Intellect's Alex Eisenberg. Alex ranked Hosmer the number one prospect in the Royals system in his most recent evaluation. You can find Baseball Intellect here. If you are interested in reading more reports like this one, you should...

Given how much interest there is in the Royals Minor League system, this should be a cause for celebration. Mike Montgomery and Chris Dwyer will start today. To refresh your...
What does having the #1 farm system mean? part 2
Part 1 covered the #1 ranked teams from the year 2001-2005. Now we will look at the past 5 years. In some ways I find this more interesting because I think prospect evaluation has gotten somewhat better due to better minor league information and also more competition in the prospect ranking...
Which Royals Minor League Affiliate Has The Best Cap?
Caveats: I tried to find the team's "main" cap, which in some cases was tough to find, since minor league baseball is fairly gimmicky now. Crazy names! Weird logos! Fun! When in doubt I went with the team's home game cap. Uniforms will be another discussion. I couldn't find caps for the Arizona...
Royals Review Prospect Pulse: May
It's been six long months but the Prospect Pulse is back--which means we can over analyze a month's worth of data and come up with irrational conclusions. Our top prospects started off pretty well but there was scuffling from some of the lower ranked prospects. I'm also going to include a poll...
The State of the Minor Leagues in Year Five of Dayton Moore's Leadership
Dayton Moore was hired by the Royals during the 2006 season. Although he kinda sorta didn't oversee the 2006 Draft (the Hochevar Draft) he did begin working on rebuilding the franchise's minor league system right away. Under Moore the Royals have spent heavily on the amateur market (Moore's regime...
