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...2014-03-121h 39
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.

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.

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.
