It's low-risk, high-reward, which is right in line with how the Royals should approach the offseason. Once 2019 starts, though, the Royals may show some new flexibility within the pitching staff.

We reviewed the predictions from March, what went right, what went wrong, and what was close.Along with the over/under judgments, we also reviewed some bold predictions from before the 2018 season. Did we miss entirely? Did we nail them? Similar to the Royals disappointing-turning-into-optimistic season, it was a little of both.

While we say goodbye to Moose, we say hello to Brett Phillips and Jorge Lopez, two former top-100 prospects who are ready for the big leagues right now.Is it the right move? Should the Royals have gotten younger prospects? And anyway, how does it fit with the current crop of Royals prospects?We talked about these things and the fun, new energy on the Royals lately. They're still pretty bad, but they're at least a little more fun.Follow the Vault at @KCBaseballVault...
2018-08-0258 minKansas City Baseball VaultSecond Half Starts and MooseWatch (BP Kansas City Episode 109)The All-Star Break was good to the Royals and they came back somewhat rejuvenated in the second half. We discussed their positive week back, and the impact of some good, young starting pitching leading the way. Can it hold up in Yankee Stadium? We also discussed Mike Moustakas and his potential trade suitors. The trade deadline will have passed before our next episode, so we tried to size up the top possible locations, but it's still pretty murky out there. The Royals say they won't just give him away, but now is the best time to leverage a dea...

There weren't a lot of positives in the first half, but Jeff and Mike made some predictions in March and had to check on the status of those calls at the break. We discussed Jorge Soler, Alex Gordon, Jakob Junis, Mike Moustakas and more, plus a brief look at the Manny Machado trade and how it might impact the Royals over the next couple weeks.Follow the Vault at @KCBaseballVault.

2018-07-191h 28Kansas City Baseball VaultThe Legacy of a Royal All Star (BP Kansas City Episode 107)The way this season has gone, it's a miracle the Royals get an All Star representative (even if it's in the rules that they do...) but we discussed Sal Perez as this year's sole representative. He gets a sixth appearance in a row, despite a rough stat line.But that's the type of year it's been. And the Royals have also run into injuries, particularly in the pitching staff. We discussed injuries and shuffling among the Royals rotation as they limp into the All Star break. Then we discussed some of the fun players to watch th...
2018-07-121h 00Kansas City Baseball VaultWho's The All Star Here? (BP Kansas City Episode 106)The Royals have had a terrible June and a miserable 2018, so when it comes to positive news, there isn't a lot to report. The Royals did promote two significant prospects though, sending Khalil Lee to Double-A and Nicky Lopez to Triple-A. We discussed their significance and what might be reasonable expectations.Then we talked about the rough June and what's out there to get excited about. From Brad Keller's emergence to Rosell Herrera's hustle, we pretty much covered the most exciting things lately, though the difficult year did bring up a question: Who's the actual all star for...
2018-06-2949 minKansas City Baseball VaultThe Kelvin Herrera Trade (BP Kansas City Episode 105)With the Royals well below .500, the sell-off has started. It started a few weeks ago with Jon Jay, but he's only got a couple of months as a Royal on his resume. Kelvin Herrera, however, has been a Royals since 2006 and now goes to the Washington Nationals.Herrera was such a huge part of the Royals success in 2014 and 2015, and he's one of the more notable relievers in Royals history, so we chose to remember some key moments of his Royals career and our favorite highlights. We also discussed the trade itself: the prospects, the money, and what...

What the heck do you do?Well, you look at a few positives, mostly some good performances from Ian Kennedy, Jason Hammel, and Danny Duffy. We talked about some of those starts, plus we assessed the Mike Moustakas trade market (even though Dayton Moore says they won't trade him just to trade him *wink*), and the imminent return of Jorge Bonifacio.We also discussed the Royals quick signing of a majority of their 2018 draft picks as well as their unsigned...

It's an unexpected set of picks, but there's talent there.

We covered some of the recent DL moves and the way it's shifted the pitching staff. We also discussed Jon Jay's successful May, Hunter Dozier's adjustment to the big leagues, and took another look at how trade values may be shifting.In a second segment, we looked at some year by year numbers to see how strikeout, home run, and hit rates have changed over the years. Of course, the strikeout and home run rates we see today...
2018-06-011h 20Kansas City Baseball VaultBright Spots and a Draft Preview With Clint Scoles (BP Kansas City 101)After a week off, we got caught up and despite a poor record, we sought out some bright spots through the first two months of the season, including a few emerging bullpen arms, some developing trade value, "hacking" baseball strategy, and the optimism of baseball's annual draft. To help prepare for this year's draft, we brought on Clint Scoles to share his insight into the Royals draft approach, the benefits of their league-leading draft pool, and the potential players who may be available (and who best fit the Royals' plan). Clint has written extensively about these potential draft pi...

One hundred episodes ago, we joined up with Baseball Prospectus Kansas City, so to commemorate the occasion, we dove into the vault and dug out some info on another notable 100: the 100-loss 2002 Royals.We discussed the plight of that injury-riddled, pitching-starved, manager-changing team and how it fits in with the history of other franchises and their first 100-loss years. From Paul Byrd's crazy win total to Mark Quinn's kung fu fighting, we cover a historic Royals season that was only the tip of the iceberg of futility when it was all sa...
2018-05-111h 04Kansas City Baseball VaultThat Almost Counts As a Good Week (BP Kansas City Episode 99)Over the past week, the Royals went through a stretch that saw them win three out of four games. For this year's team, that's momentous.They've seen a few things settle down as the year has gone on. The bullpen is a little more stable, the starting pitching has been mostly good still, and the offense is slowly waking up.Unless you're Jorge Soler, who is just tearing it up right now. He's on pace for an immense year and has an opportunity to be the breakout star of the 2018 Royals. After his 2017 and h...

That overlapped with a special return from old friend Lorenzo Cain, and, on the subject of returns, Ned Yost may return next year, and the next, and next...We discussed those topics in light of using this season to look for special moments and progress on the field, including a Royals walkrate that's way better than their franchise norm, and the potential, possible, maybe-it's-coming-but-we'll-have-to-wait-and-see breakout of Jorge Soler.Follow the Vault at @KC...

There are some players performing in the minor leagues who could help and even Salvador Perez may be closer to returning than we had figured three weeks ago - or even last week!Will a couple of bullpen moves and the return of Salvy be enough to take the Royals from dreadful to at l...

We discuss the lineup and the impact of these injuries, plus a potential fresh reboot for Gordon when he eventually returns.We also discussed some of the pitching.
