Appreciate the time you put into this Duncan. Always enjoy reading your take on things. So the 2021 Royals starting rotation could rival the Braves of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, and Steve Avery?

It’s because he put up numbers at Wilmington and that place is a nightmare for hitters.

He’s a great athlete. Probably a platoon guy in the majors or 4th OF.

Stuff like that is why the depth concerns me...where are the guys who are legit starters in the OF? I wouldn't be surprised if Mondesi ends up in center in 2 years.

We've already got guys like Pratto basically not being prospects anymore.

Khalil Lee is about the only one that’s “close” to MLB. McConnell and Pena and Matias and Hicklen are in the mix. But yeah, it’s a thin grouping.

I’m with you on being more creative. I think Moore has been handcuffed on some of those things by ownership, too.

He had a nice OTB deal worked out for Joey Wentz last year and Glass nixed it.

We’ll see over time if Sherman gives him more rope on things like that.

You don't think Kyle Isbel is close?

It's bad enough that people who cover the team think Nick Heath makes the majors this year....this team has a very serious infatuation with dudes that can run like hell but don't hit for shit. It's like Jarrod Dyson disease, we're going to draft 75 dudes that run fast and hope 1 is ok.

He has never played above single A, so no. With a really good year he might make it to Triple A at the end of the year but I would doubt that.

If this team wins 70 games, they're overachieving.

I don't think he's going to get the call this year. i should have included him in that grouping.

I think he starts this year at A+ or AA (he was at Wilmington last year and really struggled after his hand injury) and ends the year at AA.

The best part of the Royals season will be Opening Day- then the last game, because it will be football season.

There are plenty of reasons to watch.

Mondesi, Merrifield, Dozier, and Soler make the lineup interesting.

Duffy and Keller are fun starts to watch.

And we’ll probably see Lee and Singer this year. First of the next crop of talent coming up.

Duffy finally puts it all together in year 10?

That'd be great so they can move him for something.

It would be great if they are at least competitive this year.

My friend says that Aldaberto Mondesi is better than Lindor and had a chance at winning the MVP last year. I told him that is an incredible leap of faith. Can he figure it out this year?

We know he is a major leaguer, and a good one. But with what we saw at the end of 2017 it appeared he could trend toward a superstar at some point of his career. Can that still be his trajectory?
