2018-08-161h 07Kansas City Baseball VaultThe Deadline and a Good Day (BP Kansas City Episode 20)Two weeks ago, we talked about who the Royals might acquire at the trade deadline. Last week, we talked about who they might sell at the deadline.Turns out, after injuries to Luke Hochevar and Wade Davis, the Royals ended up with a pretty quiet deadline. We talked about the factors that lead to the lack of activity and what might happen next. After the break, we talked about Danny Duffy's incredible start against Tampa and what it may mean for him going forward. He's had a rocky road, but his work in the rotation this s...

2014-09-0900 minKansas City Baseball VaultKansas City Baseball Vault: Royals Camp Cuts, Future Pitching Hopes, Hochevar, Herrera, MoreWe had a lot to cover this week and jumped right into talking about the first cuts of camp, including sending John Lamb, Chris Dwyer, Kyle Zimmer, and others to minor league camp. None of the cuts were that surprising, but some - like Dwyer and perhaps Zimmer - may end up in the majors sooner than later.That led us to dreaming a bit on the pitching prospects in this wave. Buoyed by impressive scouting reports on Sean Manaea, and a strong start for Yordano Ventura, we tried to project a Royals rotation for next year and...

Kansas City Baseball VaultKelly's Westport Inn and the Kansas City Baseball Vault Present: Spring Training MovesThe Royals were busy trimming the roster and the latest Kansas City Baseball Vault discussed any surprises or disappointments in the cuts as well as what it means for the roster and any position battles going on. Along with that, we talked about the demotion of Luke Hochevar to the bullpen and its impact on the fifth starter race.
Eric Hosmer came up and inspired a discussion about concern, worry, and panic. His early spring numbers were strong, but his World Baseball Classic performance was not. He's still the biggest question mark for the 2013 season.
Also, look for a...
2013-03-2249 minKansas City Baseball VaultKellys Westport Inn presents the Kansas City Baseball Vault: The end of the 2012 SeasonThis week on the Kansas City Baseball Vault, we covered a little bit of everything. There were a few bright spots about the Royals play this year, though how much matters and how much is just spin was a question we tried to answer. There are still big holes to fill, especially starting pitching, and that led us to discuss the future rotation and who may be a part of it. Of course, that led us to the question of Luke Hochevar.
Comments in the Royals post-season press conference suggest that they'll bring Hochevar back. That same conference also...
2012-10-071h 23Kansas City Baseball VaultKellys Westport Inn presents the Kansas City Baseball Vault: "I don't like Luke Hochevar anymore."As the title suggests, we had to talk about the Royals latest approach to fixing Luke Hochevar and his spot in the organization. We considered the price to keep him, what he might have left in the tank and what the alternatives might be.
We also talked about Lorenzo Cain's injury, Omaha's quest (in vain) to repeat as PCL champs and which players might get dropped from the 40 man roster this winter. Salvador Perez was also a key figure in our discussion, as he had just matched Darrell Porter's team-record hitting streak for a catcher.
To finish up, we...

Kansas City Baseball VaultKellys Westport Inn presents the Kansas City Baseball Vault: 2012/2013 40 man RosterIn the latest episode of the Kansas City Baseball Vault, we tried to settle on the value of Jeremy Guthrie, the fate of Luke Hochevar and discussed why Wil Myers isn't going to be called up this September.
That led to discussion about service time, the Rule 5 draft and Super Two status as well as what to look for this offseason as the Royals figure out their 40 man roster and who to offer arbitration. We also checked in on the playoff status of the Omaha Storm Chasers, Wilmington Blue Rocks and Burlington Royals.

Kansas City Baseball VaultKelly's Westport Inn Presents: The Royalman Report: Tape Delayed from 1977 & Kevin ScobeeThe Royals just had a decent road trip but still came away with a loss on Sunday, so the Royalman Report tried to hearken back to better days, then tried to come up with how to bring those good days back.
We talked with Kevin Scobee of Kings of Kauffman about the Royals hints about converting some relievers into starters. The conversation led to talking about Luke Hochevar and what's gone wrong, Kyle Zimmer and what's going right and what attributes of some relievers work best if they were asked to become starters.
We also talked about Billy Butler's...

We spent 90 minutes at a wonderful tailgate in anticipation of what would be a beatdown of Luke Hochevar and the Royals. However, before that happened, we talked with hosts Troy Olsen @kcroyalman, Michael Engel @michaelengel and Chris Kamler @thefakened about Opening Day memories, favorite tailgates and booze. We were joined by Chris Luhning, Justin, the Guys from Shattered City Entertainment and some guy named DJ Bob. Catch the Royalman...
