Royals aren't acquiring the Tatis contract. |
Is it a problem that we don't have any lefties in the bullpen on the official depth chart?

Dick Lovelady is somewhere.... plus wouldn't be shocked to see Duffy in the PB at some point this year. |

I wouldn’t put too much stock in the depth chart right now. They’ll take a lefty north with them out of ST. I’d guess it’s our old friend Richard Lovelady. |
Interesting piece in the Athletic about Alex Marsh by Alec Lewis.

Uh oh. Some are starting to say Witt is MLB ready right now.

30 MLB prospects I can’t wait to see in person in 2021: Keith Law Kansas City Royals: Jon Heasley, RHP Nick Pratto is probably the bigger name to watch, as the Royals raved about the progress he made with his swing at the alternate site last year, but I’m more intrigued by Heasley because I’ve never seen him (while I have probably seen Pratto too much). Heasley was a 13th-round pick out of Oklahoma State, whose coaches did him no favors, but blossomed into a four-pitch starter with better command and control once he got into pro ball. The Royals have many, many starters ahead of him on their depth chart, but perhaps the promotions of their top picks from that same 2018 draft class, including Kris Bubic and Brady Singer, will make room for Heasley to continue to work as a starter. |
I just have a feeling that Witt is gonna be our first prospect in a long time to dominate from day one.

They're making small tweaks and then seeing guys just jump up like crazy. Very different than the 2006-2010 approach of "throw a bunch of money at raw high school guys with projection and hope it works!" |

You know...
IF this pitching staff is better than projected... You may have to bring Witt up. I mean, if it looked like you're a play-off team. Now I know, that's definitely homer glasses. But I'll be damned if there aren't suddenly a handful of serious pitching prospects that look like plus guys. But otherwise, no, I wouldn't give up the year of service. |

"And the young guys are coming around quicker than I thought. There's two or three potential All Stars in there. I'm telling you, I think we're a contender". Or something like that? Yeah, I could easily see a scenario where we're feeling like that in July. Lots has to go right but we're not exactly in the NL West. Stranger things have happened. |
