*****Official 2024 Royals Season Repository Thread*****

[ChiefsCountry]

Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

Fast track this sum bitch. Seems to me his offense projects similar to Salvy. Tons of power, high chase rate but he can hit a baseball wherever its thrown

They're not gonna fast track him, because it's believed that he wants to pitch and hit and the Royals are gonna allow it. That's gonna slow down his progress, because while he does have a great arm he hasn't been a very good pitcher, because he walks wayyyyy too many batters

He's so big and so long and his legs are so strong (from all the pitching training). I think his ability to hit pitches he chases and strike them well could possibly surpass Perez's.

He has Aaron Judge power and I haven't been this excited about a prospect other than Bobby Witt Jr in a long long time. I think he's gonna be a perennial all star and will probably break the Royals HR record within his first few seasons. He's a monster with power that this organization hasn't seen since like Bo Jackson.

I really don't get why Jac Caglianone only has a 70 power grade on a few sites. The guy hit a 516 ft HR. He had 9 straight games with a HR. If he's not an 80 power guy to some publications, then idk who is.

Yes, and I see they are in 3rd place in div,

I was more wondering about the stadium and the viewpoint of people who have attended the games.

Maybe you could fly your 700.00 drone that you could have bought for less than 200.00 over the stadium. Or is that cheap Chinese junk in the trash heap now?

How's that wannabe biker backassward trike doing ya?

God damn it now I am too excited. If they do decide to just have him hit (which I ultimately think the Royals will sooner than later) when is he estimated to hit the majors?
