Question for the minor league experts on here:
Where does Caglianone start the season? Looking at the NWA schedule for April. Any chance he's there if I see them play?

It's possible. The Royals have generally been pretty conservative with moving guys through the minors, but then again we haven't had many college guys who have an elite pedigree like Cags. We started Gordon in AA, but he was thought to be farther along than Cags. I would guess it depends how spring goes. If he keeps hitting and playing well throughout, I think they start him in AA. But if he tails off, he probably goes back to quad cities for a month or two.

If they are serious about developing him as both a hitter and pitcher, I doubt they start him in AA.

He ain't pitching. They think he's a generational power bat, that's what he'll be doing... I think he's going to be in AA.

Open in AA and fast tracked to the majors.
