probably have heard either here on on twitter starting monday this blog will no longer exist if you haven t heard we aren t taking our pop tarts and riding off into the sunset no we can t quit the internet instead we are tackling a new challenge and moving to baseball prospectus and their newly created local site that will be dedicated to the kansas city royals we are joining forces with the gang from pine tar press and the podcasters from the kc baseball vault to give you what should be the premiere destination for independent royals thought and analysis look we ve already started tweeting keeping up with the spirit of brackets this was a pretty fun one royals pic twitter com t4nujhcmci bp kansas city bprokansascity march 17 2016 on monday if you visit this site it will automatically redirect to the new location it s up and running right now but since it s kind of a blank slate at this point i ll hold off on giving you the url although if you use your internet sleuthing capabilities it s not difficult to figure out i wrote this when we made the initial announcement but we are humbled that you continue to visit us to read about the royals we started blogging back when the royals regularly lost 100 plus games now we re blogging about world champions so worth it a lot of you have been regulars since the beginning clark and i both started this just looking for an outlet to basically rant about this team we rant less often these days but are grateful to have an audience we re also grateful for rusty embed from getty images we re looking forward to building that audience at baseball prospectus as such we re not shifting focus or becoming lackeys for pecota seriously what was up with that you ll be getting the same words there you would have read here our last move was met with a lot of trepidation and in hindsight that was completely understandable this opportunity being able to start a new royals blog from the ground up with experienced writers is a bit of a rush and having the opportunity to work with baseball prospectus is something i don t think any of us dreamed of when we started blogging so we re going someplace brand new with a new look and a variety of quality writers on monday we hope you ll add us as a new bookmark and from there we hope you return to visit daily to read about your royals this is the next step for the blog we re excited we hope you share our excitement see you down the road thank you share this twitter facebook tumblr google like this like loading royals none read more business as usual march 16 2016 clark fosler comments off spring training stats don t mean much well they pretty much mean almost nothing maybe less than nothing but thus far the new three headed monster at the back of the pen davis soria herrera have one earned run in ten innings while striking out nine and walking one sure soria gave up a home run in his first outing that went as unearned but we are in the afterglow of a championship so let s just be happy throw in the established number four man luke hochevar and his three innings of scoreless work and add dillon gee now appearing to be a lock for the roster and his five innings and one run resume and the first five names in royals 2016 bullpen have allowed two earned runs in 18 innings and if like me you think a 95 mph throwing wang sounds like a peachy addition one could reasonably offer that the first six relievers in the pen have been touched for just three earned runs in twenty four innings of work good lord that is set of numbers that look good together but spring training numbers don t mean a thing they really don t angel berroa would be in the hall of fame if they did and mike montgomery would be the royals opening day starter for the third consecutive year if march stats mattered still better to have good numbers than bad right all of this is interesting in that if the royals pen is on par both in depth and quality with what it was last year well that goes a ways towards assuaging fears about what kansas city will get from its starting rotation it also plays into just how ned yost and dayton moore construct their 25 man roster for an early season that has the royals playing two games over the first five days and five off days total in the season s first 26 days that however is a discussion for another day another day over at bpkansas city my friends share this twitter facebook tumblr google like this like loading bullpen royals none read more the battle of the 25th man march 14 2016 craig brown 1 comment whit merrifield s name has gained some traction as the royals search for clarity for their 25th man it s an interesting name to consider but unsurprising given his defensive versatility along with his speed speed will get you an extended look with the royals that s been the case for 10 years versatility is something new to the roster calculus but the royals realize two things one the 25th man isn t a super huge deal when the manager hardly ever uses his bench and two having a glove man who can play multiple positions allows the team to stock the bullpen at the expense of the bench who doesn t love 13 man pitching staffs we ve said it a thousand times there just aren t many interesting position battles on this team and that s a good thing i suppose give the regulars time to get in the groove so we re basically down to fourth and fifth outfielder merrifield is interesting in that he ate seven meals a day in preparation for spring training seven i mean that s just absurd yet it sounds like he hasn t sacrificed his speed for extra bulk who doesn t love the work the beats do at spring training meanwhile i m enameled with the who wants it less competition at second base you have omar infante returning from injury who has two hits in 11 at bats going head to head with christian colon who is still looking for his first hit of the spring the guy already has 19 at bats mercy this is like watching the indy 500 where drivers are required to race on four flat tires thanks for reading today we know the blog has been hit or miss lately but we re gearing up for our big launch of bp kansas city it s coming a week from monday exciting times share this twitter facebook tumblr google like this like loading royals none read more winning the spring march 7 2016 craig brown comments off it took the royals almost a week to get their first win of the cactus league and now that s out of the way maybe we can focus on a few more important things like the bullpen and the rotation chris young and dillon gee piggybacked on sunday and reports on both were encouraging gee is less than 10 days away from having to be placed on the 40 man roster and impressed ned yost who said he threw the ball exceptionally well gee did nothing to derail his efforts to make the roster i would assume a move is coming as long as he holds steady in his next appearance meanwhile young was so efficient in his two innings of work he had to head to the bullpen to complete his scheduled 35 pitches all is well when you win sunday also marked the debut spring appearance of kelvin herrera the first of the big three relievers to get game action these games tend to fall into a jumble of anonymous bullpen arms quickly so it s nice to see a familiar face i haven t seen reports on joakim soria or wade davis but i m assuming they will make an appearance in one of the games early this week bryan flynn looked sharp in his second appearance and has to remain the early favorite to be one of the left handed arms out of the bullpen i would never tell you to put any stock in spring training stats but it is worth noting that christian colon is still looking for his first hit in nine at bats it s notable only because he is supposedly in a competition for the starting second base position with omar infante word is infante will dh in one of the royals games today this will be our first look at infante this spring so it will be interesting to see how well he s recovered from the surgery to remove bone spurs from his elbow last november two games today with kyle zimmer making his second start of the spring in a tilt against the a s working behind zimmer will be jonathan dziedzic alec mills christian binford and sam selman kris medlen makes his cactus league debut against the cubs following medlen will be luke hochevar peter moylan scott alexander and david huff share this twitter facebook tumblr google like this like loading royals none read more royals authority on the move again march 4 2016 craig brown 4 comments it s time for a new chapter i m excited to announce we are closing down this site again and moving over to baseball prospectus last season bp launched a handful of local sites they are dedicated team blogs cubs brewers red sox and yankees that fly under the baseball prospectus banner and have become first rate destinations for fans of those teams this year they are expanding their local roster and asked us to head what will become the bp kansas city site of course the opportunity to work with one of the leading baseball websites is a fantastic opportunity as they say on late night infomercials but wait there s more in addition to clark and myself we are joining forces with several writers royals fans will be very familiar with to form what should be a one stop shop for royals coverage recaps analysis minor league goodness podcasts and general baseball writing stay tuned for those announcements later in the day the switch won t happen immediately things are still under construction at bp but we should be ready to move into our new digs sometime in the next couple of weeks in the meantime keep visiting here there will be the usual content until we make the move on the day of the switch we will post the link to the new site at the top of the page we should also note the articles that post on the local site will all be free clark and i have been writing about the royals for over 10 years we have been part of several blog networks as royals authority and for a time hung our shingle over at royals review we are humbled by those of you who have followed us through various iterations and platforms and are forever grateful to our readers thank you we hope you share our excitement change your bookmark and follow us to the new address it s going to be great by the way feel free to head over to bp today to read my contribution to their season preview series on the royals there s some royals devil magic involved share this twitter facebook tumblr google like this like loading royals none read more down goes dyson march 2 2016 clark fosler comments off two innings into spring training the royals had a regular or semi regular anyway player go down with what could be a fairly major injury grounding out jarrod dyson strained the dreaded oblique at least a couple of weeks was the quote from ned yost an average of 57 days tweeted shaun newkirk shauncore two to eight weeks depending on the grade of the strain was the report from will carroll it ain t good boys and girls no two ways around it of course better it happens two innings into spring training than two innings into the regular season under a best case scenario dyson misses a couple of weeks and still has a solid two weeks plus to get into form and garner some valuable time in right assuming the plan was for him to actually play there fun question does this injury make it more likely that dyson plays center and cain right when they are in the lineup at the same time worst case scenario finds the royals turning the calendar to may and still no dyson an eight week injury plus minor league rehab time adds up in a hurry sure maybe that is still something around 30 or 35 games missed but a game in april actually is just as important as a game in september the only real difference is the importance is just easier to see later in the year i would rather the royals head into the regular season with all their options available a cain gordon dyson outfield is better defensively than any other combination of three the royals can put on the field for a team that preaches pitching bullpen especially and defense one would much rather have at least the option to put your team s best defense on the field from day one now the rosy view of this is that dyson will be able to come back and be ready by opening night or very shortly thereafter with perhaps the exception of getting him comfortable in rightfield the royals pretty much know what they have in jarrod dyson there have been instances over the past three seasons where dyson has been an everyday player he is really not a mystery at this point travis snider jose martinez brett eibner rey fuentes and to a lesser extent paulo orlando are all a bit of unknown quantities for at least the next few weeks each and everyone of them is going to get more time than ned yost had planned to give them less than eighteen hours ago while not ideal that s not all bad share this twitter facebook tumblr google like this like loading royals none read more family ties royals renegotiate perez contract march 2 2016 craig brown 1 comment old news by now but the royals and salvador perez tore up his old team friendly deal and replaced it with something closer to fair market value embed from getty images let s quickly review the dollars remaining on the old deal perez is due to make 2 million this year remember this would have been his second year of arbitration eligibility this is where
