SS Matt McLain, UCLA McLain has started all 25 of UCLA’s games at SS and is currently slashing .284/.385/.471/.856 with 4 HR, 10 XBH, 19 K, 17 BB, and 3 SB. McLain was never my favorite option for KC at #7 this summer, and he hasn’t done a whole lot to sway my opinion either.…
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve written this. Last year we were robbed of Opening Day and I didn’t wind up posting any predictions for the 60-game season. This year, the Royals have rejuvenated their roster a bit and optimism surrounding the team seems to be at a 4-year high. Not since 2017…
In the broad scope, this is as much a debate of old media ideas versus new ones. Traditionally, media companies maximized profits through vigorous and rigid control of access to their content, but young people grew up in a world of flexible and free media content. And they aren’t going back. Most of them will give up on baseball and find something else before they give up on cheap, flexible media.
It was announced today that per Dayton Moore, our No. 6 prospect Kyle Isbel has made the Opening Day roster for the Kansas City Royals. Isbel was added to the 40-man roster after Daniel Tillo was transferred to the 60-Day IL. Kyle Isbel is here at Kauffman Stadium. So is Jake Brentz. So is Ervin…
Whit Merrifield is the Royals’ best player and has been for a few years. As a result, commentators fixate on him as a model for any player who kinda, sorta fits a similar mold. Good at a few positions, not great at any. Some pop, not great pop. Good baseball know-how. Really good hit tool.…

It has been a long time since we’ve had real, actual MiLB to watch. When we released our top 50 Royals prospects list last week, I briefly recapped some of the players on our list, but I wanted to go a little further in-depth and remind everyone how our boys were doing on the farm last time…
SS Matt McLain, UCLA Matt McLain didn’t take long to make me think twice about not liking him very much for KC at #7. The Bruins SS is currently slashing .304/.484/.522/1.006 with 3 XBH, 7 BB, and just 2 K through his team’s first 7 games. McLain is a plus runner and a great defender,…

Recently, Alex wrote a piece covering some of the top college players that will be available in the 2021 First Year Player Draft. This inspired me to write about some of my favorite draft eligible prep players. I feel like I should preface this by mentioning that this class doesn’t have anyone that’s seen as…

Last week, we wrote up a little piece detailing some of the top names that should be on your radar for the Royals with the #7 overall pick in this summer’s amateur draft. Hopefully every Monday we’ll be able to go back and recap the performances of some of these guys from the past weekend.…
