Soler's numbers are encouraging. Staumont, as we've seen, needs to find his control before being a dominant #1, and the bullpen guys are at the very least intriguing.

You forgot the Royals future 1st baseman;
Ryan Patrick O'Hearn .284 with 5 HR, OPS = 848. Plus, he bats Left handed.

Hard to see how those numbers work at MLB. He has 27k already. I doubt DM even sees him as a prospect

This team is really testing the limits of post-championship goodwill.

Holland has a knack for walking away with the Wade Davis award.

Only being 5.5 back after this dreadful start is the last bit of hope I have with this group. A hot week and they can get back in this thing.

You could be right but, if he was on the Royals roster versus Omaha, he'd be third on the team in HR's (behind Moose and Perez), he be 2nd in batting average behind only to Bonifacia, and he'd be 2nd on OPS behind Bonifacio. he could play 1st or DH and the Royals would have a better bat in the lineup at this point in time.

I hate this years team. Can't watch.

Dziedic is most likely an unremarkable lefty/organizational filler type at 26 and with pretty average stuff. But he knows how to pitch and get guys out. If you squint a little, you might believe he could be a Jason Vargas back-end type.

I keep forgetting about Burns, that's solid from him. They've definitely run out worse players in CF, though my hope is that the CF of the future ends up being brought back in a trade (if they sell). Andrew Stevenson of the Nationals, Magnerius Sierra of the Cardinals are two of the guys I imagine they'd covet.

Believe Sierra is pretty key to the Cardinals system and likely unmovable, though.

Crazy how attendance goes down from a championship team to a team that missed playoffs. Ground breaking information there

Fun night at The K last night, good to see the offense come alive in-person for the first time this year. A win today can get us on the right track heading into the weekend series with Cleveland.

Strahm was nails last night, it was too bad he gave up that solo shot to Abreu. I can live with the solo shot, as long as he's making the opposition earn it.. which he has. Since being called back up, he has yet to walk a single batter and has 8 K's. That will play.

Karns was money, good to see the back-end of the rotation net us a win coming off of the heels of Duffy's last start.

Hosmer has looked good in games 1 and 3 of this series. Not coincidentally, the moments he has shined in this series are the times few and far between this season he has been willing to drive the ball to left and center fields. If he isn't willing to simplify his mechanics at the plate, that's his next-best compromise.

Hosmer is admitting to his bad plate discipline and trying to pull the ball. Hopefully he's getting back on track

Yeah, hopefully Hosmer has been sufficiently chastened by his bad start. If he stays in his lane, he'll either lead a climb back into the playoff race or (more likely) improve his trade value for the impending fire sale. Win-win.
