Your Kansas City (?) Royals: Not Last

Well, only one of those pieces actually panned out. So even if we stood pat, we'd still have a bottom-5 system.

 

This is a common misconception and probably why Dayton has been given a free pass by fans. Manaea was good before injury but he's the only guy that really amounted to shit. I guess Wil Myers and Odorizzi could be counted in this area as well but they were 2012 trade guys.

 

Our pitching is such shit most of that draft class are going to end the year in at least Double A. Makes more sense also since all the college players are around 21 years old.

Drafting college kids bc dont have the money to sign HS kids who want more money to forego school.

Seems like we spent so much on Witt the rest of our picks werent as impressive. Simply couldnt pay above slot for anyone .

 

I think most of the pitching on the active roster will end up at AA by the end of the year too.

 

I think that may be a blessing in disguise. With the Royals seemingly unable to develop prospects, especially pitchers, I'm fine getting some more polished guys that are closer to the end of their development cycle. Less time for the Royals to screw them up.

 

Moar:

 

Trust the Process

We mocked it the first time around and look what happened. Maybe we're on the right track again!

 

Cheslor Cuthbert, he’s so hot right now.

 

Can't spell Barlow without blow

 

can’t spell diekman without man diekman sucks

 

Alright, I’m out

 

Can't spell "royals bullpen pitchers" without "pen sucs ball"

Yes I'm bored

 

I’m just here to watch Soler hit dongs

 

Anytime Gore/Hamilton are at bat and don’t attempt to bunt their way on base I should be allowed to punch them in the dick.

 

I'd rather dick punch the guy who thinks they belong on the roster in the first place but what do I know

 

Fuck off with that shit

 

Has anyone else noticed there is basically no secondary market for tickets this year? I checked SeatGeek and there were 5 pairs for sale and stubhub had like 15 pairs. Every other year there’s always hundreds.

 

Tee ball teams are smarter base runners then these guys

 

And for some odd reason we still haven’t called him up

 

I think you guys want to punch dicks just to be able to say that you touched those fellows' pee-pees lol

 

No home run? Pedestrian.

 

no BBs either so you know he’ll fit right in

 

if he’s not called up after the all star break then I’m gonna wish that ned yost leaves after the season

if he is called up after the break then I’ll still wish ned is gone

 

Old friend alert:

 

bubba got called up

 

twitter says terrance gore is gone

 

Loved me some Gore during the playoff runs but he just isn't a Major League player.

Career Hits: 15
Career SB: 40

Cheers to the GOAT playoff base stealer of all time

 

He sure as shit can't steal in the regular season (at least this one)

 

Bubba is going to fit in very well with this Royals team, because he is going to suck.

 

Hopefully Keller found something tonight

 

The Tigers offense is abysmal so I'm not getting my hopes up

 

Thanks for beating us again.

 

We’ve never lost a game that Bubba has started and yet the geniuses in this organization let him toil in the minors for 8 years. SMDH.

 

Yeah I don’t like that you guys have jumped us for the #2 pick,

 

Cool

 

Merrell looks like a utility infielder with decent glove and really limited power. Great trade lol

He was batting .246 with 2 hrs in like 275 at bats in AA at 23 years old. I guess they need someone to replace Starling as the next 26 year old call up lol

 

I didn't need to see details of what we got in return to know he's a fast guy who can't hit

 

Makes this kid a good pick for us @ #3-4 next year then. Super fast, great defender, decent contact hitter

Cool

 

we traded back for mike fucking montgomery lol

 

2.5 years of control for Montgomery to find something and then flip him again.
