That isn't a Royals press release its from an outside source using a picture when the team went to full powder blue look

Makes sense. You’d think he could find a way to super impose or photo shop or something.

There's a coach that looks just like him. ROFL

I'm all for seeing Melendez get his swing refined. With his speed and power, it could be a really nice upgrade IF he becomes more consistent.

During the season last year, he used a revamped swing for a little bit with a little success, and then regressed back to that awkward batting stance he has.

less of a leg kick in the second one

IMHO, this can only help him with contact, his point of attack to the ball. Not having his hands do so much movement in his swing before uncoiling will allow him to have more control of his swing and better eye contact!

I do believe we will see better results!

Why would a click bait site want to do that?

MJ sucks ass. I was done with him last year.

found this interesting:

Yup. He’s a lost cause

Melendez is only 26. I wouldn't close the door on him. The Royals have had a few prospects finally get it around that age.
