Please forgive me for the poor quality of this post. I wouldn’t take much out of this list. I’ll refer you to Preston’s “Farm to Fountains” ranking whenever it comes out for a more detailed, better thought-out list. However, I did say I’d have a preseason list out and it’s still fun for me to…
For years, the Kansas City Royals have operated with far too much patience and blind faith in their homegrown “talent.” After a rough 2021 campaign, Brady Singer was brilliant in 2022, but then was pretty bad again in 2023, but the Royals rode him for 29 starts and his spot in the rotation never appeared…
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…
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…
I said something on Twitter the other day about believing in the coaching staff the Royals have in place. I was rightfully asked why I believed that and I didn’t have a ton of concrete evidence to give y’all. So, here we are. I don’t have the time I used to have but I am…
Let’s Reminisce Some World Series MVPs with FOCO’s Brand New Dual Champs Bobblehead The most coveted price in all of professional baseball, a World Series Championship, is certainly an accomplishment that is hard to come by throughout a professional baseball team’s existence. Fortunately enough, we have had the privilege of witnessing 2 World Series Championship Teams, one most recently in 2015,…
After signing a super max contract to essentially lock up his MLB tenure with the Kansas City Royals for the remainder of what has already been a very impressive start to his Major League career, Bobby Witt Jr. is looking to turn heads and impress his hometown fans this season with his gritty at bats and his…
We are just one day away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training and we cannot be more excited to get back into the swing of things as we approach opening day real soon against the Minnesota Twins later in March. As the guys head down to Scottsdale, Arizona to prep for…

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…
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…
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…

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…
Let’s pretend that Major League Baseball decides to add a couple of expansion teams to the league for the 2024 season. As part of the expansion draft, every MLB team gets to protect a 26-man roster from the two expansion teams. You don’t get to protect your usual 40-man roster, only enough to fill out…
The Kansas City Royals finished the month of April with the second worst record in Major League Baseball. Only the Oakland A’s, who are actively tanking, had a worse record, just one game back of the Royals. Luckily for Kansas City the A’s come to town for a three-game set this weekend and then the…
I apologize for the lack of coverage this year. Been a wild time. I won’t have the normal coverage you’d expect from us as it relates to the draft, but once the calendar rolls over to June I should be able to get enough out to keep you covered for the draft. Be sure to…
I was going to tweet this out but the thread looked like it was going to get unnecessarily long so here it goes: #1: Vinnie Pasquantino’s .238 ISO In the 10 MLB seasons before 2023, there were 1,396 qualified hitters. Only 40 of them had a BB/K ratio of at least 1.00 and only 17…
I decided to round up the available Royals prospect lists that are out and combine them to get a composite top-30. Here’s whose lists appear so far: Here’s the composite ranking: Rank Composite Points 1 Gavin Cross 8 2 Maikel Garcia 20 3 Tyler Gentry 26 4 Drew Waters 30 5 Cayden Wallace 33 6…
