He never was. Royals fans of all fans should know better, given what we saw with guys like Moose and Gordon over the years. 25 year old Moose got shipped to AAA and everyone thought he was a bust. Now he's looking like one of the top sluggers in baseball.

Doesn't mean that's what Soler will be, but he has the potential, and unlike a lot of prospects he's had a little success in the majors with the Cubs. Just got to keep running him out there and see if he figures it out.

Clay Bushholz must be activated before May 1st. Who will be removed from the 25 / 40 man roster to make room for him, Grimm or Boyer ?

Gordon is also expected to be activated soon. Who's optioned to Omaha, Orlando or Almonte?

I assume when Perez is activated Gallagher will be optioned to Omaha since he has done nothing to justify keeping him on the 25 man roster.

Feel like Boyer and Grimm are First on the chopping block, though they may let Grimm have some more rope because of the quality of his breaking ball.

They should option Orlando, as Almonte is better at everything except sprinting in a straight line.



He was if you were inpatient or looking for another reason to pile on Moore.

They could remove Orlando from the 25 / 40 man roster and give his spot to Bushholz. Bushholz joins the rotation and Skoglund is optioned to Omaha. That way, the Royals would keep both Grimm and Boyer.

Alright, everybody. Here is where the Royals go on that hot streak Ned has been talking about. 5-15? Pfft, they get Salvy back and they're right in the thick of things! Am I right?

ROFL

I would agree with this if Grimm nor Boyer ever get to pitch in a game where the score is close. Plus, replace Skoglund in the rotation with Buchholz.

Wouldn't of felt right to have Cain in KC without Salvy.

Excited to see Cain and Salvy

Apparently Ashe Russell (sp?) has found his way back to the Royals.

At this point they have nothing to lose. Hope this kid finds it. Apparently he'll do some throwing and the Rpyals haven't given up yet.

Per Flanny.

Right-hander Ashe Russell, 21, was Kansas City's first-round pick in 2015, but after an encouraging year of Rookie-level ball that season, he developed some confidence issues which escalated into serious command issues on the mound. He pitched briefly in '16 and then took '17 off as he contemplated his future in baseball. The Royals tell me Russell has resumed a throwing program in Arizona this spring and is working toward throwing some inning in extended spring camp eventually. They have not given up on him.

If Russell has magically rediscovered what he lost, that’s a potential shot in the arm. His velocity and slider were very good for a HS. Still only 21, so there’s time for him to get it back together.

The slider was viewed as one of the best breaking pitches/out pitches in the draft.

At this point I hope we keep Moose over Salvy
