ChiefsPlanet - Royals *** Official 2017 Royals Offseason Repository

I was chatting with a fellow former Kansas Citian about the Royals this week and he asked about Bubba Starling.

:facepalm:

I realize that teams miss on players far more than in football because it's difficult to project these kids, especially teenagers, years, if not a decade, in advance.

But holy crap, the Royals passed on Francisco Lindor, Sonny Gray, Jose Fernandez, Javier Baez, Matt Barnes and Joe Panik, just to name a few.

Oh, it's a brutal miss. Especially considering George Springer has the same profile, is only like a year and a half older, and was much more polished/ready. And was also in that draft.

Starling had high bust potential from day one. It wasn't just a swing and a miss; it was a two-strike, muscled-up, swinging out of your shoes swing and a miss.

I'm not sure I've ever liked a pro athlete as much as I like Danny Duffy. What a great dude.

No. Zimmer can actually play.

Bubba is an athletic freak who lacks baseball skills. There are a lot of them, and KC is far from the first team to get burned with one. Won't be the last, either.

Zimmer just has a glass arm that popped up basically out of nowhere. He's more Mark Prior ... without the productive first few seasons.

Maybe the thoracic outlet surgery finally fixed his problem and will let him succeed.

Zimmer was at FanFest today & is pain free.
