its like me watching a Royals game....

Missed the Fernandez ACL injury. That's terrible, but considering how hard he throws I guess it isn't all that surprising.

That seems to be the main contributor for guys blowing elbows.

Still doesn't make the Bubba Starling pick feel any better, though.

or watching Anthony Rendon, the next pick in that draft, having great success at MLB level while Starling continues to be a failure at the A ball level.

Rendon also plays 3B and 2B, which is greatly needed at this point.

I'll just leave this here and slowly back away...

6) Anthony Rendon
7) Archie Bradley
8) Franicsco Lindor
9) Javier Baez
10) Corey Spangenberg (Not much yet but at least not a colossal failulre at MiLB level)
11) George Springer
12) Taylor Jungmann (Meh)
13) Brandon Nimmo (close. Great OBP skills, can play CF)
14) Jose Fernandez

Is it that we can't draft or that we can't develop?

Yes.

The Royals have drafted well in most years under Dayton Moore. The 2010 and 2011 drafts are kind of black holes when you look at the first round picks. There are a few picks in each of those drafts later that could save the overall draft class, but Christian Colon and Bubba Starling are two big, ugly marks.

Minor league development is better now than it was, but I think it's pretty clear there's a problem with developing hitters. I believe his name is "Jack Maloof."

Pitching development seems to have gotten better since they minimized Bill Fischer (another dinosaur like Maloof). Can only hope the hitting development has done the same since Maloof was fired as hitting coach last year.

Dayton Moore sees a 19-19 team and whines about everybody asking about the 3B who's hitting .148 instead of praising the bullpen and starting pitching.

Compare that to John Mozeliak's reaction to the Cards' 20-20 start:

"The fact you're not winning baseball games is concerning. ... This is a talented club and I still believe in it. But having a belief in something is far different than actually getting it done. It's still early in the season where you can't hit the panic button, but you have to see the trend line changing."

"The clock is ticking, but it's not a panic mode or reactionary place where you have to do something just to do something. People have to be aware that this is not acceptable baseball at this point."

In case anyone was wondering we now have more wins already this May than we had all of last May.

Edit - Is what I will be posting when we win three more games this month.

I feel like we just won the Stanley Cup.

I thought we won 8 games in May last year? We are currently at 6 I believe.

Stop reading my future posts! But, yes you are correct. I was thinking it was five last season for some reason.

Anybody hear Moose's post game interview?

3-4 different reporters asked him about his game winning hit, and he completely refused to talk about it. Every time someone asked about his hit, he would simply praise Ventura's pitching. They then asked why he wasn't answering the question about his hit, and he repeated praise for Ventura again.

He came off like a bitter childish douche..

Royals appear to be a bunch of douche lords based on this article:

I thought it was awesome. If the media is going to spend all day and night talking bad about him, they should be prepared for his reaction to that, good or bad.
