It's the end of the world as we know it... and we feel... fine?

2018 is a season of transition for the Royals, or at least it is at this point. Dayton Moore is back. Will he swing full into THE PROCESS 2.0? Or will he try to load up again and make some reload magic happen?

Pending Free Agents:
1B | Eric Hosmer | San Diego Padres, 8 years, $144 million ($5 million signing bonus; $20 million/year in Yrs 1-5; $13 million/year in Yrs 6-8 wth player opt out)

Spoiler!

3B | Mike Moustaskas | Kansas City Royas, 1, $6.5 million

Spoiler!

CF | Lorenzo Cain | Milwaukee Brewers, 5 years, $80 million

Spoiler!

RP | Mike Minor | Texas Rangers, 3, $28 million

Spoiler!

SP | Jason Vargas | New York Mets, 2, $16 million

Spoiler!

SS | Alcides Escobar | Kansas City Royals, 1, $2.5 million

My info on the Valencia trade was they dumped him because Hos and Moustakas liked him too much and listened to him too much.

The triple vs Oakland is probably the single best AB I've seen in 35 years of watching the Royals.

100% this

Yeah...we're two of a kind all right...

You came on here posting some big news and attributed "someone." That's stupid.

First Base options without Hosmer;

"We've got options," Yost said. "I can throw [Hunter Dozier] over there. I can throw [Whit Merrifield] over there, or [Ryan O'Hearn] or [Frank Schwindel]. I can throw [Cheslor Cuthbert] there, too."

Yost is clearly trolling.

CaliforniaChief · 02-14-2018, 02:17 PM

We could throw Todd Benzinger or Luis De Los Santos over there as well.

But with that pelvis, Ned probably shouldn't be throwing anybody.

Coach · 02-14-2018, 10:29 PM

Hmmm.... interesting. Not sure what to make out of this.

Royals scout kicked out as unusual free-agent camp opens
Associated Press
By RONALD BLUM

As teams started spring training workouts across Florida and Arizona, the players' association had a Kansas City Royals scout escorted out of the union's opening training session for unsigned free agents.

About 15 players attended the first day of workouts Wednesday at the union's camp in Bradenton, Florida. Media was barred from the IMG Academy. The scout was told he was not welcome but could set up a session with an individual player at the player's discretion, several people familiar with the situation said. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.

More than 90 players remain without agreements among the 166 who exercised their free-agency rights last November, the most sluggish market since the final offseason of collusion in 1987-88.

I would think that they and other higher-profile guys aren't there. There would be a lot of risk in not looking sharp.

Former Royals Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas, both represented by agent Scott Boras, are not attending the free-agent camp, which includes many free agents but few, if any, represented by Boras, who offers his players his own training sites.

In case I, picks would be #32, 33, and 34, if Alex Cobb of Rays signs for $50 million guaranteed. Kansas City will likely have 5 of the top 40-45 picks in the draft, and the bonus pool money should rival that of the teams drafting 1-3 in the 2017 draft. This should give KC tremendous flexibility in acquiring talent that otherwise might slip or not be "signable." 2018 Draft Names to Watch RHP Kumar Rocker, N Oconnee HS, Georgia. Spoiler! Possibly goes top 10 but is a big, physical SP with ace potential. Moore and co. will be all over him if he slips a bit and could offer top 10 money at No. 16 OF Jarred Kelenic, Waukasha West HS, WI Spoiler! Kelenic is the top prep bat, toolsy OF. Royals would be ecstatic to have shot at him. 1B Triston Casas, American Heritage HS (FL). Spoiler! Tremendous raw power, best in HS bats. Royals typically like HS arms or HS bats with "special" tools. He qualifies. RHP Carter Stewart, Eau de Gallie HS (Ga). Spoiler! Another big, physical specimen with huge upside. More likely to be available mid-first than Rocker. ANY Any, Any (Any). Any current top projected pick who slides for injury concerns. Includes current top prospect prospect SP Brady Singer, U of Florida. Last edited by duncan_idaho; 04-02-2018 at 06:46 AM..
