Thanks for the work David. Lynch looked great last night. Maybe you can’t make this decision based on 15 games but the picture….might becoming a little more clearer???/ Lynch is the one that has the best chance of turning into the top of the rotation arm….Singer has the stuff for the back end of the bullpen. Bubic and Hernandez are the lottery tickets. If that’s what you get….than the 18 class is a win. Just roll with it in my opinion now. I know Singer is more valuable as a starter….but this is his third year and he’s kinda made his own bed without developing that third pitch. Just roll with it and lets see if Hernandez (the stuff is so tantalizing) or Bubic can give you some back end of the rotation innings.
Mondesi……I’m pretty sure the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over with the same results. Lol. It is what it is guys (Royals). You said the right thing about being a part time player. Why was it not done? It wouldn’t have mattered anyway…..It’s ok if he moves on and figures it out and is suddenly healthy. That doesn’t necessarily mean the Royals did anything wrong. It happens. Honestly, he’d be a really good part time player/pinch runner. I know the royals want him to be so much more. But they blew that with his development a long time ago.
I am sure you know my thoughts on MAT by now, but has he became a power hitting slugger now. It really irritated me last night when he was swinging on 3 - 0 counts not once but twice last night.. There is a reason he bats eighth or ninth almost always. Merrifield is starting to become concerning, he is striking out a lot lately. Thanks as always David.
The contestant for the Sonic Slam inning is probably in an insane asylum after that 6th inning. My goodness what was it like 3 grand slam opportunities? And after each one you didn't expect another one would present itself. Other than that, thanks for the awesome article!
I wonder if the Royals are quietly trying to install the Zumwalt/Saylor hitting philosophy with the big-league club, and that's led to some growing pains with the offense. Isn't that why Keoni DeRenne is on the bench right now?

If Mondesi ends up going to the IR, who gets more playing time in his absence? Rivera? Isbel? Olivares?
