All Royals All The Time!

After consultation with others who peruse the game threads we decided to create this as a repository for all things Royals. Minor league news, AL (ahem) Central (thanks Vonne) news and anything Royals can be found here.

alnorth, me and atleast 5 others will continue the game threads as usual. But if you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

If a big story breaks, you can still start a thread about it. There is merely an all inclusive thread that will make a easy for us all to keep up with all things Royals.

Welcome! "Grab a Brew... don't cost nuthin"...[spills beer on feet]

Very few Royals fans are going to give Jose any benefit of the doubt because of his reputation and history. In return, Jose will get even pissier about being on the Royals. It becomes a vicious cycle.

@jazayerli A source informs me that Mike Moustakas is headed to AAA. Breaking news is not my forte, so don't take this as gospel. But that's the word. 14 minutes ago via TweetDeck

This makes me want to do whatever I have to in order to afford and execute the Royals/Chiefs doubleheader on 9/13. This is bucketlist material now.

810 was discussing his home/road splits and they were pretty a significant difference. This kind've concerns me....

Home games he hits .437 17 hr 59 rbis 1.379 ops 36 games played
Road games he hits .230 4 hr 17 rbis .739 ops 28 games played

Cold blanket alert. Cold blanket alert.

What do you think though? Gordon was raking and minor league player of the year once.

Very, very skeptical.

The draft pick that I've liked the most during the Moore tenure is Hosmer. Loved the '08 draft.

Hated the selections of Hochevar, Moose, and Crow.

I'm fine with Colon. Myers was GREAT value.

It's cool that we're getting all this love about our prospects, but we'll be lucky to get a 50% return. This is why we'll need someone smart who will sell high.

Hmm, what's the NW Ark. park factor? I don't remember it being significant.

[edit]

Or for the TL for that matter... I haven't followed minors that closely in a few years.

Supposed to be a great hitter's park, so the stadium is in play (unfortunately).

This. After the shit with Gordon you have no choice to be skeptical as all hell. These things only happen to the Royals. I was really scared last year when we learned that Hosmer couldn't see. Looks like that has been fixed, but it had me screamin alot of mother****er last year!!!

Yep. Would have bet a lot of money that he was going to be the goods.

That is pretty typical of any farm system and draft, though. There's the famous TINSTAAPP principle, and even position players take a grain of salt. That's why you focus so heavily on loading the minor leagues, not depending on one or two players. Depth's the name of the game.

Moose has had pretty good power numbers at every level so far. This is a breakout year where he might be benefiting from the Park. Keep in mind though it is not like he is facing crap for pitching. AA ball has some of the better prospects around so he is at least hitting the ball.
