The Northwest Arkasnas Naturals bullpen is full of high octane arms. That is, guys who throw gas. At the beginning of the season if you mentioned gas in the Naturals pen, it was without question referencing RHP Will Klein. Klein and his triple digit heat moved to Omaha and then represented the Royals at the 2023 Futures Game in Seattle. Currently, if you mention the gas in the Naturals bullpen, the question has to be which one? The Naturals pen is now full of guys who are described as “hard-throwers”. A lot of these guys were flyers who have found their way to AA in a roundabout way. Many time ..read more

Hello and welcome. The 2023 MLB Draft has come to a close and we can finally evaluate an entirely new Royals system with an entirely new prospect ranking. Since we last ranked the system this preseason, Maikel Garcia has graduated and made it pretty clear that I had him too low at #2. Drew Waters has also graduated and looks like having him at #6 was an appropriate place for him. Asa Lacy still has not thrown a competitive pitch this season. Samad Taylor has graduated from our list and may have justified his ranking at #23 though the jury is still out on him. Junior Marin was traded to Philly ..read more

Don’t have time for a lot of explaining, but obviously the first half was so awful that things have to change in the second half. Here are 10 things that I think have got to happen for KC in the second half of the season if we’re supposed to feel better about the future of the club heading into 2024. #1: Scott Barlow, Edward Olivares, Matt Duffy, and one more veteran have to go This is pretty self-explanatory, I think. Relievers are ticking time bombs on bad ball clubs and the Royals are a bad ball club. Edward Olivares is a good bat but he’s such an awful defender that you can’t really expect ..read more

Alrighty. As I have mentioned several times before, I just don’t have time for the usual draft coverage you may be used to. I apologize in advance for that. Hopefully next summer I’ll have a little bit more time to dive into it. With that being said, I am usually pretty willing to let y’all hold my feet to the fire with my takes and predictions. I’m going to ask for a little grace this year. I feel like I have been pretty transparent through the years when new information is presented to me and I change an opinion. That may happen a lot between now and the draft. I have been gung ho about Matt ..read more

Alex wrote an article back in early February about 10 guys who could have a breakout season. He excluded RFR’s top 14 prospects to force us to dig a little deeper. Let’s follow up on that and see how guys 7 8, and 9 are doing on the first day of summer. Number 10 was LHP TJ Sikkema. I covered TJ Sikkema here. I covered 7, 8, and 9 here. So let’s move on to #6, OF Darryl Collins from the Netherlands. Collins was hitting .244/.322/.308 in Quad Cities before diving and hurting his shoulder on June 1. Since then he has been moved to the 60-day injured list. Collins was playing LF and dov ..read more

Let’s follow up on that and see how guys 7 8, and 9 are doing on the first day of summer. Number 10 was LHP TJ Sikkema. I covered TJ Sikkema here. Number 9 was SS Daniel Vazquez. Vazquez was a big money international free agent signing a few years ago. He was considered a glove first guy and Baseball America listed him as the Royals #12 prospect when they put out their mid-season lists. Vazquez is having an okay season for a 19 ..read more

Alex wrote an article back in early February about 10 guys who could have a breakout season. He excluded RFR’s top 14 prospects to force us to dig a little deeper. You knew he would include TJ Sikkema on this list due to his Mizzou bias so it is no surprise that Sikkema was listed at number 10. My goal was to go over the entire list and provide an update on all 10 guys but as I was looking at TJ’s numbers I got distracted. I started watching a lot of video, specifically against left-handed hitters. Why you ask? Because his splits are weird. On the surface, Sikkema is having an okay season. He ..read more

Royals Fans! As baseball in the month of April has come to a fast conclusion, it is very easy to get down on your Kansas City Royals.  Safe to say it has not been the start most Royals fans were hoping for.  With a plethora of young talent, young arms, and tons of veteran leadership up and down the lineup, the Royals are looking to put the month of April behind them as they look forward to a potential successful month of May with a lighter schedule of less talented opponents.  Coming off a rough month of April, the historically bad start does have some upside to the organizatio ..read more
