Opinion: What Do Royals Fans Have to Be Thankful For?

10 Nov 2008 09:11:02 PST

Written by royalsreview
Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer, Billy Butler, Alex Gordon: The odds are that two of these guys will reach an All-Star level, perhaps higher, before its all said and done. It hasn't happened yet, but at least its possible. Again, it wasn't always like this.

Opinion: How good is a #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 starting pitcher? The NL remix!

23 Oct 2008 22:00:07 PDT

Written by Jim McLennan
For amusement, I also ran the same analysis over in the American League, using the 13,287.2 innings pitched by 145 different starters there. The methodology was the same, and the chart below shows the results, with the addition of an additional column - that shows the results obtained by Ro...

Opinion: Ladnier Fired As Scouting Director

09 Sep 2008 21:30:31 PDT

Written by Craig Brown
Zack Greinke is the only player from this class to have any kind of major league impact. Although Jonah Bayless did net the Royals their 2006 pitcher of the year Mark Redman. Whoopeeee! First round selection Mike Moustakas had a great year after a slow start and fifth round pick Adrian Orti...

Opinion: Reshaping the Roster, A Retrospective: Part II The Pitchers

14 Jul 2008 00:04:23 PDT

Written by royalsreview
Still, the 2008 edition is plainly better. Throwing out Ho-Ram's small sample size glory, the current pen claims four fireballers who are markedly better than any reliever the Royals had in 2006. Moore deserves no genius plaudits for signing Ron Mahay and having Leo Nunez mature on his wat...

Opinion: Diamondbacks 3, Royals 12: Well, that sucked...

14 Jun 2008 22:46:23 PDT

Written by Jim McLennan
If not quite out. We plugged one of those runs back in the bottom of the third, and got the tying run on base, before Tracy flew out. That was as close as we got: Arizona and Kansas City traded 1-2-3 innings in the fourth, but four of the first five batters Johnson faced in the fifth reached base. Th...

Opinion: Auto-Interview II

Written by royalsreview
Why don't you trust Dayton Moore? Yes... Where do you put Hillman in this wedding analogy? What about Alex Gordon? Do you think the Royals can compete in 2009? How is Royals Review going? Umm... the website I guess. Royals Review is a greybeard now.

Opinion: Breaking - Royals Select Eric Hosmer

Written by Craig Brown
Unleash your thoughts in the comments and stay tuned for more coverage… With the third overall pick, the Royals have selected Eric Hosmer from American Heritage High School in Plantation, Florida. I’ve been writing these draft recaps for a couple of years. Alex Gordon was a no-brainer and...

Opinion: Announcing the Nominees for the 2008 Mark Quinn Award

21 Apr 2008 00:08:31 PDT

Written by royalsreview
Storm clouds actually began forming before the '07 season, when PECOTA saw him stagnating, which seemed alarming and silly at the time. Royals Review made him a pre-season nominee for the Quinn Award, which he would have likely won, had not Shealy turned in his memorable performance. Than...

Opinion: Game 3 Open Thread - Royals (2-0) at Tigers (0-2)

03 Apr 2008 07:15:01 PDT

Written by royalsreview
It's Zack Greinke against Jeremy Bonderman this afternoon as the Royals go for a surprising season opening sweep of the Tigers. A reader named Tim sent me this link, which is worth clicking. Clearly, they're still the same old Royals to many outsiders.

Opinion: Living in the Present

30 Mar 2008 15:28:34 PDT

Written by royalsreview
The other issue is this: to win games you have to beat someone else. Well, the Royals play the Tigers and Indians a combined 36 times. How many of those games can the Royals expect to win? Obviously, baseball, at the game-by-game level, is much more random than a sport like football, so nothing...

Opinion: Diamondbacks 7/1, Royals 1/Athletics 2

13 Mar 2008 01:57:03 PDT

Written by Jim McLennan
Eric Byrnes led off the third with another homer; Kansas scored two off Lyon in the fifth, then Arizona came back once more with four in the bottom half of the same inning. Kansas City got two in the seventh, starting with a bizarre one: John Buck struck out, but Easley, unaware the umpire had r...

Opinion: Soria as a starter? Not everyone agrees

12 Mar 2008 20:24:34 PDT

Written by NYRoyal
The Royals situation with Soria is mirrored by the Yankees quandry with Joba Chamberlain. He dominated as a reliever and scouts think he has the stuff to be a very successful starting pitcher. Many commentators think the Yankees should keep in the bullpen and groom him to be Mariano River...

Opinion: Mark Grudzielanek - Infield Anchor

06 Feb 2008 00:34:33 PST

Written by Craig Brown
Last season, Grudzielanek was the only regular to hit over .300 and led the Royals with a .302 batting average - Joey Gathright hit .307, but in about half the number of plate appearances. He slugged .426 - which was higher than anyone in the Royals starting outfield. (Emil Brown was at .347, David D...

14 Jan 2008 16:00:00 PST

Written by royalsreview

Opinion: A Conversation with Kansas City Star's Sam Mellinger

28 Jun 2007 08:43:27 PDT

Written by marbotty
Sam Mellinger: I do think it's sustainable, if by "sustainable" you mean that the Royals will continue to progress --- not that they'll continue to beat John Lackey with John Thomson. The free agent thing, there is the argument that the Royals could be in line for an extra draft pick by losin...
